Since you said about adding comments on UV workflow. I find once you flip on the -1 axis when duplicating an object, the quickest way is not necessary to unfold again and rotate, but simply flip the UV, that way both UV's are identical mirrors too.

In general it is bad practice to just leave your cylindrical shapes in a weird bent shape. You should always unfold cylyndrical shapes in a straight line wherever possible. With wheels and tires this is important to make texturing a lot easier, and gives you more texel density. Please don't leave your unwraps all bent out of shape. For wheels specifically use cylindrical mapping under the UV dropdown and afterwards place the seam where it needs to be if its not correct, then use Unfold U or Unfold V to unfold only in one direction.
@Bulborb1 Жыл бұрын
Thank you, I use follow active quads in Blender to get my cylinder strips, it's super effective especially for objects when texturing first ie using a trim sheet.

re the back part of the car, i would split it down the middle, then each half would map with less distortion generally in blender I lay them out either side of the mirror centre then apply a mirror, with x on the data turned on

The UVs do not need to be perfectly flat unless you need perfect tiling for a specific pattern. If you do, then this video will help you learn how to unwrap your UVs so they are perfectly flat: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9Cpq9eiyMrNfIE.html

Hello sir, when should we do uv i mean i have modelled car according to smooth preview but now my question is when should i do uv, should i do uvunwrap in smooth preview or should i first apply smooth to every thing and then do uv. But when i do uvs in smooth preview without applying smooth to everything than it leads to uv distortion and everything gets red in uv distortion, please tell me what to do
@OnMars3D 2 жыл бұрын
There should be no issue when UV mapping before the low poly. You just need to make sure to enable "smooth UVs" in the settings.

I just use the default settings. Make sure you double check your plugin settings, 'Unfold3D' should be enabled in the plugins if not, it will use the legacy Unfold settings which doesn't work nearly as well.
