![]() the built-in UV Grid texture of Blender is a good start. I highly recommend to work with different UV background textures. I used my cute Owl Earrings as an example project to show you what I mean :) Don’t be afraid to go in and pull those UV’s into shape yourself! Here’s a bit of guidance to do this. Automatic mapping methods often do not produce satisfying results. Rectangular mesh shapes are pretty easy, but organic shapes and bended shapes can cause headaches. UV-maps - there is no easy formula for them, because every shape has different needs. Now tracing the image is a breaze.Meshing Tutorial: How to create a UVmap in Blender that looks good with patterns Easiest way to do this is in your image editing software select the transparency, invert selection and do a fill. To make sure you get the right scale for your cut file I add a 1cm x 1cm plan in my model as a reference.įor the image trace it works best if the image is a solid color and ndt just lines. When doing a Pack Islands Blender will scale the UV to get maximum resolution. Now the UV are proportional right but not in the right scale. Go **UV/ Export UV Layout** IMAGE TRACING AND SCALE When you are happy with your seams and UV layout: **UVs/Pack Islands** places all the UV within the workspace while keeping the proportion and proportional scale relative to each other. **l** select element (hover over piece, not if keep UV and editmode mesh in sync)īut the most useful option in our case is Pack Islands: ![]() If you got several pieces you can manipulate them with your standard Blender short cuts. > This keeps UV and editmode mesh in sync while working. **u** to unwrap (or from the Shading UV Tab )> Options tab or in UV menu select **live unwrap** When done or want to se your result so far: ![]() SHIFT CLICK select or deselect individual edgeĬTRL E to mark you selected edges as seam (or select it in Shading UV Tab click mark Seam) You can select your seams by clicking or use option keys to speed up the process: Think of it as cutting fabric for a shirt. You are now ready to start unwrapping using the checker pattern as referenceīefore working with the UV´s it is a good habit to reset/freeze your transformations. Add/Texture/ImageTexture and select your newly created UV imageĬonnect Image texture color to Diffuse BSDF Color Next we want to add the texture we just created. You might have to enlarge the UV window to see it. Image/new image (ALT N), name it and choose Generate Type UV Grid.Ĭheck Use Nodes to display selected mesh nodes. To close a workspace click and drag on the same diagonal stripes, Depending on what direction you drag the window you see an arrow indicating what workspace will collapse. We want to creat a temporary unwrap so we can see the generated texture we are about to apply.ĭrag out a new work window by click and drag on the diagonal stripes in the Bottom left corner and change it to UV/Image Editor Under surface make sure it is a Diffuse BSDF This helps us to verify that the proportions and resolution is the same on all UV’s.įirst change render mode from Blender Render to Cycles RenderĪdd material to your mesh. We will apply a checker pattern to our model as a visual reference. Apart for applying textures to your model we can use the UV´s to cut fabric for our composites. We can use UV mapping to unroll a 3D surface to a 2D plane. Week 16: Interface and application Programming Introduction to Molding and Casting- Video Why did we put a 20MHz crystal on the Hello FTDI?
