Haha, thanks. If you watched my previous video (the lecture on UV unwrapping), I explained why this is kind of a pain and usually results in just re-modeling the part in Blender.

@Iconic2191 3 года назад

Thanks for the great content as always! Super interesting and very useful. Rightly or wrongly, I found that splitting the surfaces using the seams in the UV Unwrapping tool itself, it seems to work really well on timber legs for example. I find it allows me to see how the timber grain is going to line up once you click unwrap and go into the preview (which allows you to rotate and scale the UV's) window before you hit apply. I'm sure it's not the way seams is meant to be used but I've found the results to be good so far! Thanks again for the great video!

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing! Actually, I have done this as well (and I think I do it in an upcoming video ;). I believe it is how the tool is meant to be used, but I have also found it to just lengthen the process in some other cases.

I use solidedge with ks. I paint (divide) surfaces in solidedge and ks recognises these as separate objets... I have not tried this method yet, but i will compare them

@Sunny9617 3 года назад

Hey. Amazing tutorial. Thank you for posting this. I just had a quick question. After marking the seam, when we have to select the direction, is there any particular rule for selecting the right side? Also, does the direction selected have to match the directions from other planes that were separated. In this tutorial, the first mapping direction goes right clockwise from the top and the next two go right counter-clockwise from the top.

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

I don’t think the right-to-left direction matters. Good question!

@jimdeasy 3 года назад

I dunno. Seems like a lot of nit picky type work to get right. Would be awesome to compare a brushed metal before and after instead of mesh holes to the final. Still a very well done intro to the topic which is what I wanted. I think that one of the viewers from the other lecture said this is do able in Rhino. I want to look that up next. Also, does this process actually effect the Cad geometry? If you save, will the New map save too, if you edit the part and update in ks, do you ruin the uv? What’s the next place we should go to find out more? I’d imagine this is day 1 VFX school stuff. It’s gotta be basics for getting hair and skin right. Your tutorials are the best. Thanks again.

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

Hey Jim! Thanks. Tedious, maybe, but when you don't have other options, it can be a life saver. Rhino has the ability to unwrap, but I've only seen it done in one or two really old videos. No clue if/how the feature has evolved and how capable it is. Any sort of editing of geo in KeyShot will break live-linking. So, any 'updates' to the CAD you try to push into KS will fail. You'll likely just get the new model imported, then have to go through the UV unwrapping process again. That said, once you've done the UV unwrapping, you can put any texture you want on the geo and it'll work. The workflow is completely different if you're using a polygonal modeling software. If you're using CAD for modeling, then good luck! Not much out there.

@aeonjoey3d 3 года назад

No matter what I do the Unwrap button is always grayed out. I'm trying to UV wrap a sphere, wether it's imported or added as a primitive within keyshot, nothing works. been trying for months. :(

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

That sounds like a bug. I haven't ran into this case. Try emailing Luxion support.

@aditya.pratama Год назад

I have two questions. 1. how if I sparate that surface from CAD software first and import it to keyshot? 2. Does this will work on 3D printed look like material (FDM and resin)? Thanks

@WillGibbons Год назад

I am confused by your first question. Can you ask it differently? For the second question, I think the answer is yes. UV unwrapping does't really have anything to do with the type of material. You should be able to create any material and use it with UV texture mapping.

@aditya.pratama Год назад

@@WillGibbons thanks for answering my question. What I mean in first question is how if I split/divide surface in Siemens NX first then import divided model to keyshot (usually I import solid model). So we don't neet to devide it and we can go next to uv unwrapping. I'm sorry I still confuse too in this part. 😂 BTW, please make a tutorial for 3D printed material like in keyshot.

1:55 even when I change it to UV and scale the dot, they just aren't there, the selection is white. though a different part of the model was affected.... XD I hate when I come at a crossroad that makes me have to stop entirely.

By chance are you in GPU mode in KeyShot? That might be causing an issue as I use CPU mode most of the time.

@MrSendermen 3 года назад

So, the closer you move towards a product, the higher the perspective value?

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

Uhmm. Hmm. Not sure I follow. Changing the camera perspective to a lower number makes it look similar to a wide-angle lens (like a gopro) and a high number is more like a telephoto lens (like a long zoom lens).

@MrSendermen 3 года назад

@@WillGibbons Thanks for the reply, in that case let me eloborate. At 22:08 you zoom in on the front edge, and increase the perspective value, hence my question. Is this a rule, or just a personal preference?

@WillGibbons 3 года назад

@@MrSendermen I see. Thanks. Just personal preference. It had nothing to do with setting the focus distance for Depth of Field. It's just to make it look like a less wide-angle lense.

@VanGoreYT 10 месяцев назад

isn't it way easier to split the model in Rhino (or any other CAD tool)?

@WillGibbons 10 месяцев назад

It may be. But also, plenty of people who watch these videos don't have access to 3D modeling applications. The goal was to solve this using KeyShot.

@elixexo4011 Год назад

Video could've been 5 minutes if your topology wasn't so cringe.

@WillGibbons Год назад

Sure. When working with CAD, 99% of the time, you'll not be able to control topology. That's the reality of what most people who use KeyShot have to deal with. Ideally, the tools in KS would help make it easier.

@elixexo4011 Год назад

@@WillGibbons Apologies if I seemed rude at first, but I've wondered; what are the advantages of CAD software over something like Maya or Blender? I've tried using Rhino3D and what I discerned was that there were different object types and they behaved uniquely.
