Blender 2.54 UV Mapping

A tutorial on Blender 2.54 UV Mapping. I choose to use a coke can for this one due to other tutorials using more simple objects that don't really give you a clue on how to do more elaborate projects. Here's a few tips that may have not been clear in the video due to time constraints...

Mark seem is a tool that tells the UV Mapper the guide lines in which to make a map for you. So make sure you outline your project properly so that the map makes sense...

And if you are curious where the Pepsi UV wrap can be found its here...

at part 7:48 i don't have uv at the bottom i have view and image how do i get uv on there

[SpiritCrisis]

@OmariDaiki there is a unwrap option available in the MESH TOOLS on the center of the screen.

When i enter edit mode, it doesnt turn out like yours, it turns out like the original model of the cube, and i cant subdivide it ;s how do you fix that?

[SpiritCrisis]

@AsaTellurium does your model derive from a cube?

[AsaTellurium]

@SpiritCrisis Yeah, is it mean to be a different type?

[SpiritCrisis]

@AsaTellurium if it is a cube and you have used subdivision surface to model it you may have yet to apply the modifier. The same goes with any other modifier as well... If when you create your UV map it is still a cube then have you tried to configure your own mapping mechanism to meet your needs. If you need any further advice on plotting of how to create seems in a logical format may I suggest part two of this video series. I am still unsure though if any of these things are the issue

OMFG you dont know how much this tutorial means to me!!!!!! LOL I was like " WHY THE F**K WONT THE TEXTURE RENDER!!!!!??" I figured it out on my own but I really don't know what I did all I know is I went to Texture mode and Clicked on it about the 15th billion time and clicked both instead of just texture, I was looking for "coordinates" but it didnt have it right away. So I was like WTF!! So after me and My wife got back from seeing Megamind 3d (btw kind of ruins the movie when you know how

[theryaner]

one of the best and clearest tutorials i've ever seen. Thanks a bunch!

[TheTilenc]

why do you get those strange shapes when unwraping? :/

[LolMagic321]

Hey SpiritCrisis! Instead of moving the camera by the X-Axis then the Y-Axis then the X again, just select your camera press "G" to grab Tap "Z" Twice and move the mouse back and you zoom out with no hassle.

[VirtualSpoof]

Awesome!!!

[clongoram]

Just do GZZ to zoom out the camera when you have the camera selected. It is much faster:)

Thanks for sharing this video.

Great video.

I am new to blender and to CG in general, so this question might be basic and stupid, but I would really appreciate an answer to it!

Can you stretch VIDEO onto a 3D model, using UV mapping? Say if you want to replace the Pepsi label with a Quicktime Movie that stretches 360 degrees around the can? Is it possible?

Thanks very much! I'm a big fan of your tutorials.
