CoRnDogg Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 Ok guys, I'm going to kill the guy who created model unwrapping. I have been trying to unwrap my saber for about, well, forever and still havent gotten any further than before. Gmax is a great modeling program but when it comes to the topic at hand, I feel like blowing it up. I've asked this question a few other times, all with great answers (and thanks to the guys who helped) but they all turned up to be dead ends. If anyone knows either 1. a better way to way to unwrap in gmax 2. where I can get an Ultimate Unwrap 3d clone or even the original that I dont have to shell out $30 for or 3. someone that will make the mesh for me and walk me through it so I dont have to ask again, that would be awsome. Thanks again guys. I'm just writing this but I know you guys will help. Thats what makes this board great! Here is my WIP (copy and paste guys) http://angelfire.lycos.com/comics/almightycorndogg/cornsaber.jpg
iifuzz Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 hey man, do a search for LithUnwrap on google.com it is the earlier versions of Unwrap 3D that were free. Works great, i just got it today and iv been unwrapping all my saber hilts in like 15-30 minutes.
CoRnDogg Posted July 20, 2002 Author Posted July 20, 2002 DUDE!!! iifuzz, if this works, I may have to buy you a new house! I didn't know they still had this version anywhere. Rock! I'm downloading right now! Thanx man
KMan Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 Unwrapping isn't that hard. It just takes time, like anything else. You don't learn how to be good at it for a while. And those programs that automatically unwrap models suck donkey balls. Check this vid out. Very useful to learn how to unwrap effectively. Bobo the Seal's UVW Mapping Video
VampireHunterD Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 I've been meaning to learn how to unwrap models. I think I'll have a look at your vid kman. This might prove useful since I know nothing of the subject.
Twisted Vertex Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 For the noob, check out DeepPaint 3d. Your albe to paint right on the 3d image.
Harukaze Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 Hey Kman, I tried out that video and it didn't have picture or sound. Do I need any particular codec? There're two models out right now that are absolutely at a stand still, so I figured I'd at least make an attempt at learning this so I can help them out.
