Are you one of those people that hates UV mapping ? let me know :-)

[martindiavolo]

Nice. Uv is very important, but i think a lot of people are afraid of it, basically because they don't known how to use it (I known this from my example, i had to spend days and days, actually to drag myself to screen and start learning), I think UV deep dive can help a lot of people.

Thank you, Mike for what you are doing. There is not many people in the internet right now, as I know, who is making tutorials with new versions of Maya. Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻

[GamingWithMeGuys]

Sir your all videos are very knowledgable but your voice is slow in the videos that i have to connect to headphones even after i did not get the proper voice, so i hope that in future you will upload your videos with a great audio in them. Thanks and you are the greatest professor who taught us very precisely. Thank you for your great effort. Love from India.

[LoveBanime]

Oh man, hated UV mapping until Maya 2018 came out. Sooo much easier now for complex polymesh (characters, detailed objects, etc).

[alexbelalis]

Sometimes mapping feels like im solving a puzzle or something like that for some reason for me 😂

Que el idioma no sea un límite para aprender. Excelente contenido el de tu canal. Un saludo desde Colombia crack.

[Batman-nzue]

5 min video is more engaging than your 19 min video "UV mapping basics in Maya 2017"

[giornocornuto]

Thank you Mike, you're a godsend.

[Baluprime]

Am new to MAYA and your tutorials are helping me alot... Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

[shannonsecordlaurien]

ok I am at the point where you automatically mapped and then you are moving each piece but when I select the face and hit W it still moves as one big piece and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong help

[Emblanefilms]

Hi Mike. I was wondering if you could help me with a query.
I built a lightmap for UE4 in Maya, most of the static model looks great, but some of the faces are black/unlit. I checked them to see if they are either overlapping or back facing and they are not.
However, when I used the 'select by type' and chose 'unmapped', indeed there is countless faces including the immediate obvious ones I saw unlit in Maya.
Is there a specific thing I should do to correct those?
Thanks a lot for your videos!

Oh, i made the light map by copying the initial UV map, pressed automatic, then layout to get what I have right now. Thousands of faces.

[irfanirz]

Sir can i do for this same method for all shapes for eg : can i applay this method in torus cylinder

[hemathemat]

please iwant to learn make a landscape for games like pubg how long time i can learn it if iam now starting to learn maya
sorry my EN is low
thank you for help

[reptile-studios]

I am confused, I selected the face but it affects everything around it

[techrev]

What resolution should the picture be? The picture appears a little pixelated when applied as texture to the cube

[munjeanand]

What is the difference between doing UV mapping before applying a texture and after applying a texture ?

[kuku]

When choosing all the UVs in MAYA, how can each UV be scaled equally in its own coordinate center?

[vforvisuals]

Hi sir, volume is very low. Could you please increase?
