[@ARKBlender]

a guy that actually solves the problem which most people have

[@mack-n-cheez]

You’re an absolute life saver! I thought I had screwed up my model forever and would have to restart from scratch after working for DAYS!

[@bluegemini3265]

You're the only person ive seen that has shown how to stop the uv from overlapping, thank you for this video

[@Fox_Gaming208]

Absolute HERO! Have a problem? SOLVED another one? ALSO SOLVED. its hard to come up with words becuse this is a legendary level video. This is PURE GOLD. Thanks so much!

[@memopamp]

Grant, I just want to thank you for posting these amazing tutorials! They are really easy to understand and you absolutely have a natural talent at explaining stuff :D

[@VeryFunStudio]

This is very tip. I was wondering why my texture painting always ended up painting some other faces, until I noticed this UV overlapping. Thanks for the tip to resolve this problem.

[@atomictyler4871]

Thankyou, normally i just use materials but now im getting to texture paint. Life saver!

[@blockcreationz1]

Thanks for the explanation and the solution. Overlapping is (or now was) a returning problem.

[@EenaTheBudgie]

I have also make a wolf but when I uv unwrap it , it has some issues but in this video I have cleared my doubts. Thanks Grant

[@dieseladdict6685]

This has just saved me hours, if not days of extra work, THANK YOU!

[@kophotograph1803]

You saved my project. Thank you so much! I got UV overlap errors all the time in Unreal and now I know where to look at.

[@RyanKingArt]

Very helpful! Thanks so much. I was wondering how to fix this problem.

[@24kWabbit]

You know for the longest I have been trying to find a video to help me with overlapping I even went to communities like adobe, blender and Roblox engine communities to see if anyone can help me but no one helped me as much as you did and I want to honestly thank you for this help

[@altugozhan]

LOL I wish I watched your video before I screwed up all my meshes while fixing overlapping uvs. Very simple and useful information. Thanks a lot

[@seanchow1999]

thank you so much for the select face ctrl ++ and split selection, youre a life saver!

[@Carlosmlon]

Old video but if it works, why change it. thank you so much for this. super easy to follow.

[@michelleh1464]

the CTRL + really helped me

[@noha3087]

The only useful tutorial I found on this topic, thank you so much!

[@lorddiego]

Great tip Grant! It's amazing how you always manage to teach something new. Thank you!

[@noelsonoelson]

This is a problem I have come up against time and time again. And solved it in much more laborious ways! So thank you for such a fine tip =).

[@jeremygorski7437]

when I split the selection and move it everything will be moved

[@otherworlds9677]

Thank you SO much, Grant.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Stuff you didn’t know you needed to know. Thanks, bro ✌️☕️

[@tytothetoetaker9788]

Great Vid. A few tips tips for cleaning up quick and “dirty” :) unwrapping. I didn’t know about the split command, or the overlap. Thanks! :)

[@luisalberto7417]

Can you make a video talking about texel density and how to control it? I’ve been having some issues understanding that topic

[@JuanFernandez-ti5bv]

Thenk you very much for this helpful tutorial! I am following your Blender series, they are great! keep it up Sir

[@xMrBlack]

Hi ! Send this UV problem to Blender team, to fix as soon as possible.

[@aydaryakup4540]

THANK YOU! It really helped me

[@idonthaveanyideasforaname]

Thanks so much! This really helped

[@xx11s]

thanks for the tutorial helped me a lot

[@RyKeUp]

Thanks kind internet man

[@lafisc906]

I know this is an older video but maybe someone will see this and help me. blender will NOT let me separate anything. I went to UV split selection with faces selected- won't do it. With edges selected- won't do it. With vertex selected- won't do it. I've even tried on non-overlapping areas thinking maybe that was the problem, but I simply can't separate *anything*. Is there something I'm missing? EDIT: Figured it out, freaking proportional editing was on. So if you find this tutorial not working, make sure proportional editing is off. (Proportional editing and I are frenemies at best.)

[@extraartistico9959]

Give it a genious for this trophy!

[@cursedbishstudio]

Thanks G ur the best and a very hansom chap to boot 👍

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Thank you

[@rafibrown2112]

You Sir are a life saver thank you!

[@RC-Heli835]

That's awesome Grant! Is there a way to delete unwanted vertices in a UV map?

[@grabbitt]

Only by reducing the vertices on the object

[@GabrielLopes-tl8ht]

Thank you!

[@vas-poenitentiae-08]

My issue revolves around all the vertices being attached to each other in ways that cause the faces to overlap. The way it's structures prevents me from getting them to stop overlapping. Is there a way to seperate the connections between vertices?

[@grabbitt]

Mark seams from island will probably help

[@red-t8x]

thanks for the video

[@nickfai9301]

Thank you very much.....

[@ark2307]

The uv unwrapping Playlist in the description says "U Unwrapping", might wanna correct that Otherwise great video, thanks

[@jcsekinger]

many thanks !

[@dead_smile6433]

hello Grant Abbitt I have a problem with my blender object it seems that theres a overlapping part that doesn't want to go away how can I fix this

[@grabbitt]

You should be able to select it and split it

[@powersave2]

+1 to engagement metrics

[@curiousity271]

Superb!

[@DontRunSean]

i did this lined up the texture but its not updateing to the new spot i put it?

[@jeremiahevans2583]

Thank you! Helps alot :D

[@مصطفیحسینی-خ2د]

a big thanks from iran

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

What can you do if you are still getting specks when texture painting, after you have removed all overlapping UVs?

[@grabbitt]

Check double faces

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

@@grabbitt I tried that and I lost detail. Disabling occlude and back face culling, and increasing the texture resolution helped a lot, but not completely

[@Mr.Seb0]

Yes thanks a lot I needed this

[@robertshaer6603]

Awesome vid Grant - very useful/informative. Wondering if you had any plans for a Texel Density tutorial in the future? Have seen others on YT but think with your knack at explaining things in a way that's easy to understand, you might be able to explain it in a much more digestible way! :-D

[@corrozu]

@4:50 "Smart UV Unwrap is more for Texture Painting..." Grant can you explain more about what you mean by texture painting? Do you mean for objects that are less complex like, a painting a cube into a dice or something?

[@grabbitt]

See my texture painting playlist 👍

[@keithhunt8]

The top of my UV editor only shows View and Image. No Select or UV options. AH! You have to be in edit mode. Got it!

[@digimikeh]

give 796 beers to Grant please...

[@frynn1978]

I'm still getting color on other faces even though there are no more overlapping faces :( Every time I fix one side, the other side gets messed up.

[@grabbitt]

Remove doubles. Apply modifiers

[@adrianhey1880]

I love you so much rn

[@cyberstudio555]

Nice Video

[@agastyavalisetty8620]

I have a problem - my UV islands are so small that even if I apply 8k texture they don't have detail and I suck at placing seams so I used smart UV project and in substance painter, it is a big issue and auto unwrap in substance is messed up. HELP

[@grabbitt]

Manual unwrap

[@darko_s0ul]

Can you help me please, i got a map object, and everytime I use the smart uv project and hit ok, it just freezes and crashes my blender, I would appreciate your help

[@grabbitt]

You shouldn't unwrap really high poly objects

[@darko_s0ul]

​@@grabbittthen how do you decrease the poly

[@grabbitt]

@@darko_s0ul look up retopology

[@julianromano62]

Hi, Love your videos really been helping me learn blender. Had a lot of fun making the pots, I have a question. I love the art style and assets of games like ASHEN or ABSOLVER but I cant find any info or guides on how to create that style of assets do you have any tips or know of anything that could help. Thanks and thanks for making your videos.

[@grabbitt]

I'll try and take a moment to look into it

[@oldmelancholic961]

thx

[@cmginfinity18]

Was looking at this yesterday and went to use the method, but CTRL + to select the other faces doesn't work for me. Anyone know why?

Has to be the numpad

Was there every an follow-up to this topic?

[@grabbitt]

What would you like to see

[@jamesderiven1843]

@@grabbitt You say at the end of the video "smart UV projection is more for texture paintings but there are ways of tidying it up and organizing it which i'll talk about it alter episodes." For myself, I found this episode very insightful ( I didn't even know that you COULD move UB nodes around), but I am dealing with a mesh that have so many overlaps that its time-prohibitive to clean it up manually. Was hoping there was a... for lack of a better term, a "making better/cleaner UV maps' video.

[@marcosramirez8056]

This doesn't work for me. Still painting in several places at the same time.

[@grabbitt]

That's very odd maybe you have doubles on your mesh

[@soilentclips2774]

This is the one 😫😫😫🙏

[@TheZetorian]

Select Overlapping, and everything on my screen got marked xD Ideas?

[@grabbitt]

Don't know why that would be

[@noiseworks]

two problems i hope someone can help with. in the UV editor there is a point where i can zoom no further. also, i do not have the option to split a selection under the UV drop down menu.

Use period key on your numpad. Makes sure you have something selected
