Hard Surface UV Unwrapping in Blender
Seams, UVs, texel density, resolution... what does all this stuff even mean? This course will cut the BS and jump straight into what matters - the techniques of hard surface unwrapping.
What do we cover?
- Seam tricks & placement
- UV Unwrapping techniques
- Texel Density & Resolution
- Island Packing
- Texture Sets
- UV Overlapping
- Optimizing UV Space
- and more!
Part 1 - Seam Tricks & Placement
Understanding where to place seams can be tricky - especially the "why". We'll explain where you should place your seams, and why we do it.
Part 2 - UV Unwrapping Techniques
Learn our automated process for unwrapping - saving you 90% of the time you'd otherwise spend clicking edges!
Part 3 - Texel Density & Resolution
It is very important that you have a proper texel density for your scene - otherwise your texture resolution may look terrible!
Part 4 - Island Packing
You should be using as much of your UV space as possible. We'll show you exactly how to optimize it and pack it both efficiently and effectively.
Part 5 - UV Overlapping
Overlapping UVs can cause trouble - but they can also be an effective optimization strategy if done correctly.
Part 6 - Texture Sets
Texture sets are a powerful tool for getting high resolution unwraps, even on massive models!
