That unit modelling tutorial at the beginning is incredible! I will use it to teach my younger brother 3-d modelling. Hopefully, I can get him to join twcenter soon...

[Lü Bu]

Thanks!

question! question teacher!

how do you change the UV of a model? say for example, I want to make the UV of the torso a front to back one, rather than a right to left one; or, If I want to change the leg UV, so that intead of right and left halves being the same, the right and left halves are different?

I finally managed to get a model that suits me-just the UV map is the issue

[Conqistador]

i wanna know this too /\

[Lü Bu]

In editably poly select torso or any part you want.Go to modifier list nd select Unwrap UVW.Click on edit and select all polygons by clicking Lctr+A and go to mapping/normal mapping and select front/back.Than you should get something like this:


Than all is an you.Rotate those two sides by 90 degrees and use move and scale tool to get this shape


If you didnt understand something ask me!

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

nice!

now, once its editeable poly, and this UV is done, how do I switch it back to editable mesh? previous attempts have led to trouble

[Lü Bu]

To get to editable mesh just right click in one of viewpoints/front,left,top,perspective/, convert to, convert to editable mesh

I can borrow you one I make a while ago...

[Lü Bu]

Here it is.Its unwrapped so you only need to texture it and scale it /depend on your model/
