Psyk0Sith Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 You propably have a few polys still selected...go in sub-object mode, de-select all the faces and re-apply the unwrap modifier. Thats for 3D max...others i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I've got a question too. When you get the mesh into the unwrap window, where do you go from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 If you have previously applied UVW maps (the modifier) to the model, use the Unwrap modifier to "make" the texture layout. Unwrap is basically used to put some order in all this mess...you can cut rotate an place uvw maps. But you need to apply uvw maps before unwrapping (use planar maps as much as possible). I guess everyone's got a different technique but that's basically it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairtis Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 what do ya mean I'm very very very new at this please explain slowly. And my model is a saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clu Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Probably the best place to start is a good tutorial. I swear by this one personally, but there are loads out there: http://www.waylon-art.com/uvw_tutorial/uvwtut_01.html Psyk0Sith is correct in that everyone has their own technique. A saber is a great place to start though because it's pretty simple geometry. Then you can start experimenting with characters. -clu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 That is indeed an excellent tutorial...damn i almost want to upgrade to Max 5 for unwrap's advanced features . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
