UV Unwrapping In blender - Tutorial by MysticDuder

[Pac0daTac0]

Thanks for the dead link, I really appreciate it.

[ThinkNow02]

This is a very good basic tutorial that explains usage of seams better... This skill is largely overlooked in uv mapping tuts... Thanks for the cool video any blender beginner would def be able to utilize this info.

I am pleased and thank you very much. With this I can finally delve into the world of 3-d modeling and animation.

The only thing I got stuck on was this whole textures thing, so yay for finally being able to move on to this~

[wompag]

Nice video! If you dont have version 2.46 there's another way to do it. Just select all the edges you need, press ctrl+E and select mark seams. That works the same way.

[Akirameerkat]

how do you save the UV unwrap texture to the computer ?

[destruction7071]

lepo se cujes

[a2zhandi]

how do you get the numbers to come up in the uv window?

[KittenKiller]

I made an object and divided it up each side of it with seams so it should be able to unwrap each side completely flat with no stretching but it doesn't, it unwraps it and skews it into a circle.

[gurintto]

It's a nice tutorial but I could only understand about 10-20% of the words you said.

[IvoryBell]

thank you, this explains everything I was wondering about. Before this UV mapping was a nightmare for me.

[otakuuuuuuu]

Nice tutorial. But do you know what to do if your image doesn't load up? (I'm trying to use a JPE file with a blue box by it when you're about to load it up but it doesn't open...)

[otakuuuuuuu]

Never mind about that too... How do you make it show up on your model? ^___^"...

[jessicaworks951]

i dont see the uv face select on mines! is it only in version 2.46 because i am using the 2.48 version

[MysticDuder]

There is a link in the description to an updated version of UV unwrapping in blender. Hope it helps!

[Livefjord]

for fucks sake, fix the audio.

[MysticDuder]

wow, way to be rude about it. Way to complain about free help. If you would have read the video description you would have seen there is a link to a better quality video.

[Bloodyidit]

@MysticDuder

if we cant hear you, we cant understand what you are doing, without comprehensible audio, this isn't help.

so please, if you would fix the audio so we can hear you, it would be very much appreciated.

[feitingschatten]

Your tutorial is WAY easier than reading the blender manual, thanks man! Though I'm going to read the last half anyway to make sure I have the texture export part down (the last part of your linked tut). Just wanting to say thanks for the sharing, I might do same later.

[jagitude]

hi dude.. is there anyway i can use mirror symmetry to lay out seams?

[MysticDuder]

i think if you were to model a character using a mirror modifier and then unwrap it before applying the modifier the seams will be mirrored, either that or the seems will just overlap eachother and you just have to paint one side.

[Grishnahk4]

great tutorial, thanks misticduder!

[fvv3]

This looks like a useful tutorial, but the audio is so garbled at times it's difficult to make out what you're saying, and the video is very low rez. If possible, please upload a higher quality version. Thanks.

[MysticDuder]

Read the Description people!!!!! I have a link to a better version in the video description. The audio is better but you need headphones to hear it properly!

[bostonredsox9940]

mine wont render, i got it to work but when i push render, it wont work! plzzz respon quickly.

[MysticDuder]

What do you mean it wont render? What are you trying to render?

[bostonredsox9940]

i was trying to render the object after i unwraped and added the texture, but it just shows blank.

[MysticDuder]

You have to create a material and add an image to the texture in the material settings and set it to uvs.

[bostonredsox9940]

i still dont understand, try to use simpler word. and one thing that is really bugging me is how do you get bones to work in the game engine, i know you can use the action window in the game engine pert but it still wont work, a lot of people are having this problem and if you can tell me how to fix it i would be very happy, thx

[MysticDuder]

i have a video link in the description that will give you a tutorial on how to go about unwrapping it in the new version of blender! I hope it helps! :)

[ghyselsguy65]

i'm back lol, ok, i'm using 2.48a and i can't unwrap my object like in 2:26. all i can get is the box w/ a vertical line. i can get the image up but it just tiles across the object. can u help?

[MysticDuder]

I have a video link in the description that will give you a tutorial on how to go about unwrapping it in the newer versions of blender. I hope it helps! :)

[ghyselsguy65]

could u make that video on how to export the unwrap so, for example, i unwrap my character and export him to photoshop to texture him?

[MysticDuder]

It's already made my friend. Look in my videos for UV exporting tutorial :)

[jagitude]

cant hear your voice in google either.. :(

[MysticDuder]

Try using head phones and turning the volume up, that seems to work the best.

[jagitude]

it was still midi.. but i was able to hear you.

and thanx a ton buddy,i was waiting for weeks as i couldn't cut my UV maps out..and cause of u i can now progress.. thankyou.

[MysticDuder]

I do have to apologize on the audio quality, i had a horrible mic.

Glad it could help you out!

[MurderTrainAComin]

Sounds like a McDonald's drive thru, can;t hear a damn thing. Even with headphones.

[MysticDuder]

i said in the description to follow the link to the google video. it has better audio, you just need headphones.

[xxravitxx]

hello

[jarre135]

wtf there is no such thing on my blender as a UV face select!

[MysticDuder]

There is a link in the description that has an updated version on how to do it in the new version of blender. I hope it helps!

[Zarnik]

This tutorial is useless to me..>_>

[weech0]

How would I go about selecting seams in blender 2.46? I couldn't catch what you said after going into UV Calculations, but I don't have as many options as you do. Any suggestions?

[weech0]

Sorry, Blender 2.5.2**

[MysticDuder]

I just posted a link in the video description for an updated version.

[archiaeinas]

how did you learn how to use blender and great tutorial

[MysticDuder]

when i started using blender, there website had an AMAZING set of tutorials on how to get started. But they were only good tutorials for versions 2.0 and 2.1 around that area.

You can also find some awesome tutorials at several websites.

[blackmoderte]

It would have been clearer if you had down the seaming in the solid draw mode. So that you could clearly see where you are putting the seams

[killerc0p]

Seriously, I can't hear what you are saying. You might wanna improve that audio!

[AngrySackBoy]

what if my object has 129,024 faces... lol, ummm...o well hope it works the same

[MysticDuder]

Then Seams will alow you to do it still. There is a way to select a whole like of vertices instantly. I don't have blender with me currently, but i can check it for you the moment i can!

[sofekinbored]

was this voiced by Kenny from South Park?

[sofekinbored]

Still a helpful video though, many thanks for posting it!

[JariAaltonen]

[0gnaws0]

How do you get the material/texture to appear on the mesh?

[0gnaws0]

My bad. The Draw Type has to be textured. =[

[MAKESENCE7]

sound is crappy ! can't hear nothing

[MysticDuder]

thank you for pointing out what has already been said.

[AngrySackBoy]

"Can't hear nothing"

doesn't that mean you can hear everything? Contradict pwn.

[MAKESENCE7]

Sorry man, u did an awsome job !! accept my apologizes, learning 3d with just the web could be sometimes frustration lol. However, the fact that your investing your time in teaching and helping people is really much appreciated !!!so keep up the good work ! Cheers

[DarkArcz]

Audio quality was lacking, but otherwise, this was the best UV Mapping tutorial I've seen yet.

[metalhead4894]

im having a problem.. idont have "uv face select mode" anywhere on my blender...my blender is the current version + i have python 2.5... any1 know whats wrong

[SniffMyBunghole000]

in the latest blender you don't have a uv face select mode. all you need to do is press "U" while you are in edit mode and the same options come up

[chaiya25]

if your using blender 2.46 (and 2.45 it seems) UV face select mode is just edit mode.

[lilgrudgeboy666]

where did you get that image?

[MysticDuder]

The Checkerboard pattern? I pretty much searched "Checkboard pattern" in google. haha!

[yuvalyogi]

Cant here anytihing!):

[DigitalEnhancement]

So....How are you selecting seams while in UV Face Select mode? Either I didnt hear what you said, or am completely mentally incompetent, LOL Can someone help!!! When I'm in UV Face select mode and HAVE "Draw Seams" selected, it still wont let me select just the seams I want??

[MysticDuder]

Hold alt+shift to select the seams. and make sure to Right click.

Sorry that the audio was bad!

[DigitalEnhancement]

Actually, because im on a MAC, using a wacom Tablet, its----->Option+pen clicker button thingy...but thanks anyway I got it!!!!

WOOT! do you have any tutorials that show how to Unwrap complex objects to RGB UV Maps like that are square?

[MysticDuder]

Hahah! I'm glad to hear that!

And as for the second part, i'm not too sure what you mean. Can you give me an example?

[JMatrx]

I'd love to see (better: hear) this tutorial, but for me it's just impossible to hear you, neither with headphones :(

[MysticDuder]

I plan on re-recording it soon! i promise!

[JMatrx]

Nice to hear this, it would be very useful, i'm quite good with pure modelling, but i still have to learn how not lose too much time in UV mapping. I can do it, but i guess there are better tecniques than those i'm using now, seams and so on

[MysticDuder]

Definitely! If you would like, i could even do a tutorial on how you might go about unwrapping a full character model, weapon, or whatever you think would help!

[JMatrx]

I'm currently developing a VG, and i'm experiencing some difficulties in unwrapping meshes without too much stretches, because i use blender materials to generate the skins and when i mount the various pieces of the model, let's say of my starship, i need to improve my texturing/unwrapping skills to avoid stretches and/or hide the seams of the model. That's because it is a quite big model, 1km total lenght. Anyway your tutorial should help me a lot, i'm trying to hear it again with louder volume

[JMatrx]

One of the downsides of blender is that if you don't find a tutorial, more than 70% of the use of the program is hidden. In fact i was totally unaware about placing seams, i had to manually select the faces i wanted to unwrap and then unwrap them from view. In fact this is still easy with non-organic meshes, but with organic ones it would have been a pain. Thanks to the seams it should help a lot to save time and detail

[ColdOneK]

you know thanks for the tut and all, but my $5 mp3 player has better audio quality, and it records louder

[MysticDuder]

I know it really sucks! I was still tweaking with the audio at the time and i had a HORRIBLE headset! I apologize for that!

[RealGunde]

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

[ramanboywss]

This is so crucial! Why aren't there more tutorials on UV mapping? And why is the audio so quiet and muffled?
