Creature Attack on Ravensbourne

Hello!

Welcome to my tutorial on Uving. This tutorial is a basic look at how to Uv. It is based on my first technique on how to uv which isn't the best for the high end models but I feel its key to getting the knowledge of uving down and a good starting point! 

So hopefully by the end of the of the Tutorial you should know:

  • Basic tools to use for Uving mapping
  • How to setup a Scene ready for Uving mapping
  • How to break down a Mesh
  • See how there are different stages to a model
Below shows render of the creature that was fully uv'ed and textured ready for animation. These images not to show amazing renders ( eyes not werent finished at this time) but that the technique works! I used all the methods I will teach in this tutorial to uv this character. But I had to use some other techniques that are not in the tutorial because they are more advanced level and would be unfair to try teach something I feel you need to know the basics before knowing the more advance methods.
    

For this tutorial I will use videos to try give most the information across but for every video, underneath there will be bullet points and screenshots to highlight key points in the tutorial.
