I've been feeling so discouraged to do anyth on Maya just because of UV unwrap but this video solved my worst enemy in 2 seconds! Thank you!

[dreidrey]

Probably the best UV unwrapping video I've seen so far. thank you!

[johnlwin]

You made something that was overwhelming into a pretty simple process for me

Really good vids! thanks man

Learning the ability to go into UV > Planar at the top where you can set it to resize it really saved my life for college work, I'm not a modeller but this really helped, thank you!

Love your videos! Very professional. Btw double click a UV selects the shell, it's much faster in my opinion. Also, right below the flip option in the UV Toolkit, there's the Texel Density feature. You select a shell, click on "Get" then select another shell and click on "Set" and it matches the texel density of the second shell to the previous one. Super useful.

Dude.. its 2018 Maya had evolved... I've just watched few awesome videos about the new 3D cut and Saw UV Tool... you should try it out!

[bunny]

[stana]

12:40 подскажите, пожалуйста, как он перевернул карту?

[temptor]

would youw ant to project planar for everything you UV unwrap, or just an item like the model in this video?

[pathikbiswasvisualart]

Thanks a lot for this very easy to understand video.

Alex, do you also have a problem with maya 2017/2018 where "Smooth Wireframe" no longer works ? It doesnt do anything, In 2015/2016 it ran just fine.

Of course I can just turn on Viewport AA but that takes up way too many useful resources

[TheLastApplePie]

What if i have 2 objects, do I need to combine them?
