UV mapping in 3D coat
3D coat is excellent program to unwrap even complex models due to it's intuitive controls. I use Edge Loops most to quickly define UV seams in the model. 3D Coat also has a very powerful UV packing feature which arranges the UV islands to fit efficiently to the UV space. UV mapping in 3D coat is such a joy!

UV mapping in 3D Coat - and loading a mesh with UV :) This is just tweaking the UV in 3D Coat. But anyway thanks your time to show us some method.

I use 3dsmax most, but also play around in Blender once in a while, but 3dCoat is my favorite software to unwrap with. I often unwrap in 3dsmax, but I always do my texturing in 3dCoat.

@yaschan99 7 лет назад

That's interesting. I haven't used a recent version of 3Dsmax. Does it have ABF kind of unwrapping? There are some shapes that I unwrap in Lightwave such as bending pipes as I can get pixel perfect result there with a plugin.

@luxxeon3d 7 лет назад

***** The unwrapping and flattening algorithms in the latest versions of 3dsmax (2012 to 2017) are almost perfect. It has Pelt unwrapping, which is quite handy and does a wonderful job on organic shapes. I prefer the GU (Global Uniform) unwrapping in 3dCoat to any of them. It's even superior to ABF. www.cgchannel.com/2014/03/3d-coat-gets-new-improved-uv-unfolding-system-by-accident/

Oh I see, that sounds great. I definitely want to take a look at the latest versions of it. If I get chance to work as game modeller again I would definitely want to buy the subscription. Wow!! I didn't know about GU unwrapping! THANKS.

Wow your artstation is amazing !

Wow, and to think I was wrestling with blender's uUV mapping all this time. Would you mind making a video discussing texel density? I prefer your show and tell style of commentary.

This may help others: I'm using 3d coat ver4.8. I could not move/rotate/tweak my UVs in the UV preview window, could not even alter anything to do with the pop out window. I had the window as a pop out that was placed over the right side menu, just like Jaakko has his (that also shows the surface materials & paint objects), did not have the UV preview merged. Once i merged my window into the menu, (had to alter the size of the right menu to be able to "access" the pop out) I could then manuipulate my UV islands etc.

How do you import a pre-made asset in quads, because it changes to tris ones i import to 3d coat, pls help

@pawpotsRS 6 лет назад

Hi, how did you select one whole shell? i can't select mine i use 4.7 thank you. 2nd question is do you have any idea how to unwrap a simple sphere? this kinda simple for expert but its bugging me how they do it. edit: thank you been watching your video for the whole day rewind and forward everything thanks, for the shell select same with maya i found it in the toolbar, and for the sphere i have one (if all of the checker or letter box are all in different rotation its find as long as they are on the same size?) regards, roy

How can I just rotate some UV shells? It's driving me nuts.

how do you export a UV map?

@okamichamploo 4 года назад

This may be just so obvious that no one ever covers it, but I just finished my retopology and I want to UV map it, but when I go to the UV room it only shows my old high poly model. I found the option to export the topology as an obj. but is there not a way to just save your retopology directly in 3D coat so that you can edit it in the UV room?

@dennou2012 6 лет назад

How do you know if the UVs are flipped or not?

@yaschan99 6 лет назад

Change checker pattern

@dennou2012 6 лет назад

Sorry for the unclear question. I have researched the area some and What I meant to ask was: When should one care for having the textures be in "order"/"propper direction". Does it matter if one would bake and texture in Substance Painter?

@yaschan99 6 лет назад

It doesn’t matter for baking. Texel density is way more important, so I flip whenever I can to pack well. Only time when I run into problem is with text or other details which would show the flipping.

Why is uv unwrapping so damn tedious

@yaschan99 5 лет назад

At least it’s way better now than 10 years ago

Rizom3D virtual spaces is great, a bit expensive but is worth every peny

When I move from Sculpt room to UV room, the model vanishes. How did you get your model to appear in the UV room?

@MHTutorials3D Год назад

UV is for painted models. Sculpt has it's own UV setup

@staticbeepbeep 7 лет назад

I used blender for a while and holy fuck UV unwrapping there is dreadful. This looks so damn easy compared to that.

@staticbeepbeep 7 лет назад

Well I'm speaking from personal experience and from experience of talking to others who used almost all 3D softwares they all gave me same answer- Blender has one of worst UV unwraps ever. I'm not saying it's that bad but it's bad compared to 3D coat. Especially when you go into more complex stuff such as trees etc.
