One of the best UV for Beginners examples I've experienced - this has helped me better understand so many unwrapping and texturing concepts that until now I've just been muddling through at best.
Ah, ha! Thanks for these instructions!!! This is exactly what I needed to get me started. And thanks for the clear, concise voice over. Kudos to you!!!!!!! 😊
@@SurfacedStudio Please do! I'm a complete novice and I already know your tutorials are much better than the average ones. At least you mention every single clickie that you're doing so I don't feel stupid. Thanks for everything
Im usually impatient with Blender tutorials but somehow I watched this entire video! I guess because like every second of it had a different technique or taught something important. Thx for the detailed tut!
These are great tutorials. Clear and straight to the point. As a developer who sometimes has to create placeholder models until an artist is available, I find Blender very powerful but not at all intuitive. Your tutorials have really helped.
To anyone that wants to split windows on blender 2.8: Put your cursor at the top right corner, adjacent to the hierarchy. Your cursor will turn into a plus. Drag it to the left, select the 3D viewport, which is right next to an icon that looks like a cursor trapped in a box, the select UV editor To anyone that wants to unwrap your model with blender 2.8: Select everything in edit mode -> Press U -> Select unwrap
@@SurfacedStudio the sheer simplicity in how you explained it to the audience helped me as a beginner really understand what I was looking at so much quicker and I found this has really helped me get used to the tools - thank you
Someday, we will just talk to the computer like in Star Trek and say "Computer, I want to add a texture to this model". It will say "Working, rendering, complete" and you just look at it. But what happens when it says "I am tired, and my transistors are too hot. I need to turn off for a while". Then we need to learn all the steps in Blender again.
very useful, thank you. now i have to do the same thing for B2.8 which is just into beta today! i shall now go and look to see whether you also have some more advanced UV mapping tutorials along with material assignment, etc.
Thank you for the comment :) I still have to make TONS more tutorials, including lots for Blender, and 2.8 is going to bring lots of great changes that I want to touch on too. It's all a matter of finding the time, but rest assured, it's all on my to do list :D
This is really interesting, but much more about UV mapping than texture mapping. I know the two are often used interchangeably, but for texture mapping I was hoping to learn how to actually create the texture map with the object model in mind. This tutorial assumes someone already created it for me, which is typically not the case (in my experience, anyway)
Ah nonsense! Glad you liked it! Be sure to check out the updated version of the tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/mYYLOEiYmsw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SurfacedStudio
Wow my teacher thank you so much If we are somalia We love your skills you Are the one and only who is the best lessons in After Effects tnx my dear pro
Salman Young That's truly great that you feel that way. Please stay focused, and convince your fellow countrymen to stay. Most seem to want to run, and take their problems with them. Be proud and make your country great
Great tutorial Excuse me I have a question Is the size of uv really matter for texturing in substance or any other program? And why when I unwrap a mesh in blender the size of uvs are really bad Thanks
Apparently a lot of people have not been getting notifications! Be sure to go to my TH-cam channel and enable notifications - or follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I always post on there :)
It is, if there's a bug with just adding a material it'll likely get fixed within a day :) I'd post the bug up in the developer forums if you get the chance - the dev team is super responsive to issues
Would you be willing to do a tutorial on Mesh Rigged Clothing for Second Life - at the moment, your tutorials are the number 1 across the board and easiest to follow, but your collection of tutorials for it is really small, really really hoping you'll do it.
OK look forward to that! Also I appreciate your replies, you're a great uploader and creator. I recently uploaded the treasure chest to Second Life, and the 'second layer' (So the outer part of the chest that I added afterwards with new vertices and faces) has appeared translucent when uploaded. What might I have done wrong there?
Another +1 for a remake - also love your videos especially this one I come back over and over again :). I really struggled jumping from 2.79 to 2.8 blender so many changes and Im only a casual user. Getting the texture to appear in the viewport now is quite different, For anyone else stuck at about the 7/8min mark, probably me again in 2 months.... 1. The cyles/blender Render options are gone from the top menu, I think you can ignore that bit @ 7:00min 2. Those little icons across the top at 7:22 have all moved down the side and awesomely it auto closes, there's this tiny > arrow at the top of that area which press to open and the materials icon is now a red globe thing, 2nd last one from the bottom 3. The little button mentioned at 7:35 is now just "+ new" - assuming you need it. 4. 7:55 "color" property is now called "Base Color" 5. Little icon for selecting image is very similar just B/W 6. This last bit caught me as after you do that no image on your model 7. If your on default install 2.8 in either edit/object mode, there's 4 icons in top right corner of the viewport just above the xyz gimbal thing, they look like different shaded circles most likely the solid white is selected. If you change to either of the last two your texture will appear but with shadows/light. To change that select the arrow at the end of that group of 4, new window will open "Viewport Shading" change "Color" on the new window from "Material" to "Texture". Select the solid white circle and your textures there same as the video :). Thanks again for the videos.
Thank you for the comment :) I got a crash course for Blender 2.8 here, but I do need to update this series when I get some time to do that! th-cam.com/video/f92r93t2HKE/w-d-xo.html
Been playing around with this more now I've jumped to 2.90.1 the process above seems to work still although on step: 1. cycles render is under render properties in the outliner - looks like a old fashioned TV to me :) 5a. If you manually edit your UV map you'll notice the viewport preview goes blurry - under material properties directly under the image name is a field that will say "linear" adjust this to "closest" and it should re-sharpen your image in the preview pane. Again adding this for me as Im sure I'll be back in another few months trying to do this lol Thanks again :)
As old as the tutorial may be, it's still somewhat useful. Though I cannot see the colour grid appearing on my model, as weird as that is. Followed all your steps, using Cycles Render as well. Great tutorial, nonetheless :DD
@@4LOOR blender can import Collada Alembic Stanford wavefront x3D Extensible 3D stl. if you download a model it say which one. to import a model go into "File" and at the bottom you will see "import" and then click on the object file and done. I hope this helps
I am having issues with the projection. I followed all the steps in the tutorial exactly and used the file given, but the projection is missing a top square (compared to yours) when in cube projection. When put into sphere projection and scaled to bounds, it looks completely different. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Hi, I was just wondering how it would work if you don't have a texture with rectangles... I noticed that when you unwrap it, for some reason the rectangles of the UV map are not perfect (why is this?) - is there a simple way to make them into nice rectangles and to make all the rectangles the same size? Without having to count rectangles on your texture? I hope my question is clear..
nodes are very confusing, I am just doing second life but want to use more realistic stuff. so any recommendations? like for example using more then one image.
Please watch the other videos in my beginner series on Blender - especially the one on rendering: th-cam.com/video/giLDaIryYNk/w-d-xo.html&list=PLs2aOcA-EaLNX5j2yxVQhEBpFgD3zDR9P&index=5
I have a question, whenever i do the cube projection the box with correct aspects, scale to bounds and clip to bounds isn't there, i've tried multiple things but it still isn't showing up.If you know the solution to this please reply.Oh and also im in the Material tab and it does not have any label that says surface that can be expanded, i use Bender v2.79
Hi, thanks for your tutorial. It helped me a lot. But i have a question. The image textures are applied to uncolored 3D-objects. But is there a way to generate a texture out of an allready colored 3D-object? I have created a 3D-model of an racingcar in inventor 2017 and applied every Part his material and color. Thank you.
That’s more of a question regarding Inventor than Blender (and I only know Blender) - you need to export the model with UV and image map in a format that Blender can understand :)
@@SurfacedStudio thanks for anwering me. Yeah, sinc the model is created in inventor i should ask them. But whats if i created a model in blender and added manually different parts with different colors or materials. Can blender create an image map fitting with the uv map for my objekt?
