3DS MAX UV Mapping / Unwrapping Tutorial super fast & easy 

Thanks Abdul

Thats great news mate good luck :D

Glad u liked it :D thanks for the comment

Thats great news Jiggle! thanks for the wonderful comment good luck with your college course, :)

+Jonny Cortez That's great mate, thanks for the comment

I also went through the same decisions, I personally prefer 3ds max over maya but as a tip maya is the future, if u are looking for work, most studios use maya wether it be gaming, movies or small screen, if you want to make a career of it go maya, this is just from my experience in the field thus far. good luck and thanks a bunch for commenting.

+Ian Kendall yep I love it and have never looked back, I even import models from different 3d apps just to use the unwrap uvw tool in 3ds max, thanks for the comment :)

Thanks mate, super glad my tut helped ))

Legend thanks for the feedback mate

Same here, but I must say UV mapping in Maya is way better than in 3ds max.

+NexusWulf Thank you so much, I am glad the tut helped you out, :)

+brentacon Loved the video so much, I saw it last month, but forgot about it, so glad I found it. I've looked at Blender, and even possibly buying 60$ software because it's just too much, but you made it so simple. I Had a question, do you happen to have a video on actually creating textures for UVs in photoshop? If not, could you create a video? And if you were interested in doing so, I don't think people need too much talk about what to do, I feel like watching someone do it and see what is good practice could really help me out. My main goal is creating textures for less organic models like characters or clothes, but stuff with metal, bolts, electronics, and also weapons, so I'm not entirely sure I know any resources to get textures to apply to models. If you wouldn't mind creating not a tutorial but just a video of you UV texturing in photoshop with a couple of words thrown in there, I wouldn't know what to do. Thanks for reading this.

Yeah I'll make a vid like that for u, checkout my speed modeling vid of game of thrones weapon berathians hammer, skip through it till u hit the Photoshop uvs I do, it is sped up alot but I think u will find it interesting.

Moise Florin Cristian Excellent thanks for the tip Moise

Your welcome

wow now im a genius thanks to u

Im not sure what you mean? can you explain what it is you want to do?

I have a female body and want to put a bitmap onto it. Not just squares but an image. With normal UVMap it doesn't work therefore I figuered it may work with unwrapping.@@JB.Creative

+Mat Broomfield Hi Mat sorry for late reply, very valid question, it certainly can, it depends on the texturing technique u have in mind, for me the way I unwrapped it was so I could define the hip piece easily in photoshop, the material I used was simple and a seem wasn't really an issue, but if you have a complicated texture u want to use, then a seem would show due to inconsistencies with texture patterns between the 2 or more islands you have in the uv,

+brentacon Thanks. Also, following this tutorial, I find that the different pieces can have different scales, which can make matching them up problematic as well.

+Mat Broomfield that is also quiet true, but like I said it depends on how you are going to texture it, for instance if you imported your model into mudbox, zbrush or sculptris to texture, the size of the uv island differences wont matter. but painting them in photoshop, gimp or illustrator will make it difficult to align, unless you have hawk eyes, or the ability to disguise seems.

+brentacon another trick is, if you want your unwraps to be equal then select both items, for instance in this case(the front and back of the pants) and peel them together this will give you perfect ratios.

Glad my tut help mate, hope your weather hasnt been as shit as here in nsw :D

Oh man its so fukd here. I live off grid in the woods without heating. Programming keeps me warm.

put some respek on that dedication
