I'm 31 years old, and this video had me bouncing in a chair like a kid. It's so awesome to see a texture being applied to an object in 3D. It really feels like you're creating a real thing. Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial!

Best UV unwrapping video on the interwebs. You saved me from throwing my computer out the window.

Lol after a year of wresting with UV maps, trying to drop in image textures and then distort UV maps to fit the image all within blender, I now see the intended workflow. Holy shit, this is so much better than what I was doing. Pick up 3D modeling as a hobby during covid, using only youtube to learn, its been great and awful. I cried, I laughed, I sweat and bled. Its only been through truly excellent tutorials like this that have propelled me further.

10 out of 10 Tutorial. Really setting the bar with your instruction style.You could probably teach me calculus and thats saying a lot.

An absolutely amazing lecture that clearly explained the concept of UV wrapping eloquently and precisely, taught at the perfect pace with relevant examples. So happy I found you after going through countless Blender tutorials that just tell you what to press but never explain why. Thank you so much.

What a delight to find a lecturer like you! Clear explanations, no ums and ahs or 'cool' every 2 minutes. Thank you!

Wow. Your teaching manner is top class. The right pace, simple explanations and a great ‘real’ example. No pressure:keep these coming

You are an amazing teacher, seriously. Out of all the UV mapping tutorials I've seen, this is the most clear, step by step, explanation of everything. Especially the seams part, that's what I've been stuck for a long-ass time. I was so confused why the UV map looks like this 5:20 when I tried it myself. The cereal box explanation helps a lot. Just overall 10/10, exactly what I was looking for.

Wonderful. I've watched quite a few UV mapping tutorials, but this one finally made it stick. Really appreciated the use of the cereal box, stretching and fitting, and using the grid to validate that scaling was set up correctly.

OMG, you must be a professional teacher. you are soo good. i was actually looking for a 10 minutes tutorial (even a newer 2023), but you are really good. i have adhd and normally i would skip many parts or speed up the tutorial. but not here. 35 minutes tutorial and i didnt have a patience problem. you are GOOD!!!

I've been through far too many bad tutorials trying to get UV mapping down. This one is a little long, but it's the easiest to understand. So thanks for that. I wish everyone would just take the time to explain what they're doing, and why its done this way. Really good tutorial bud, thanks again.

this is exactly what i wanted, the unwrapping from edges helped me A lot, and the way you show multiple ways of doing the same thing when you repeat steps is just amazing!
Thank You for the amazing guide!

Wow man, like many others I'm gonna thank you for putting this out. Your way of explaining things is extraordinary. And you have a such a soothing relaxing voice. This has been one of the best tutorials I've seen in years. You take your time - without wasting it. 👏👏

[MMMM-svlk]

Awesome tutorials, love the relaxed pace and detailed explanations. Great content, thank you.

[Hawkolate]

After some trial and error, I uv unwrapped my first object. Thank you

[lodgechant]

You are such a brilliant teacher, Darrin. I love the cleverly-conceived opportunities you provide in this tutorial to make sense of UV mapping, and your very clear instructions. What a winner! I now have a solid, practical understanding of UV mapping. A thousand thanks for your generosity. With greetings from Cape Town!

[cmtsdt]

Absolutely the best tutorial on UV Mapping for the beginner. Your careful explanation of even the simplest step is much appreciated. You verbal delivery is friendly and kind to the ears. I know you've been with Blender for many years, as I've watched a considerable amount of your videos over time, but this has to be one of your best!

[sergiogama]

The best video about UV Mapping on Internet.

[computhenics]

I never felt this much clear with UV mapping. Amazing work going from the basics.
