Unwrapping for Blender, XSI, MAYA 3DS Max, and ZBrush

This is a video tutorial I made for unwrapping any 3D object in Blender for use in other 3D applications like MAYA, XSI and 3D Studio Max. You can use a blender generated object or you can import a model in .Obj file format.

One Goof: Under the Link to Object panel the ME: means the data block, not the Object.

When creating UV Maps, I strongly recommend you initially let Blender create the new image with the "UV Test Grid" option enabled. This will allow you to see if your unwrap produces odd seams, stretching or shrinking in various areas. It is a delicate balance between creating a good UV Map and one that a texture artist can work with.

I agree, my tutorials are kind of old now. So theres a lot more thats been added to blender since then that makes things a lot more convenient for 3D workflow.
