Blender 2.8 UV Mapping

Requirements

• The course uses Blender 2.8, and Krita for texturing.

You will learn about :

• Avoiding Stretching in Your UV Islands
• Hiding Seams
• The Importance of Uniform Scale
• Blender 2.8’s Smart UV Project Tool
• Blender 2.8’s Live Unwrap Tool
• Blender 2.8’s Align Tool
• Blender 2.8’s Stitch Tool
• Optimizing a UV Map for a Game Character in Blender 2.8
• Texturing in Krita

We will also export our UV maps out of Blender 2.8 and take them into Krita to texture, so that you can see how UV maps are used in a standard pipeline and how your UV mapping decisions can affect your texturing.

In the end, you’ll have a better understanding of why and how UV maps are used in Blender 2.8 as well as tools and techniques you can use in your own projects.
