Game Dev Secrets: What are UVs, really? #indiegamedev #gamedev

The game that I'm developing as an indie game dev is called Isadora's Edge! A 2D Pixel Art platformer game, that I'm developing in the Godot Game Engine! If you're new to Godot or have any questions about Godot or game dev in general, feel free to ask me! #indiegame #gamedesign #godot #godotengine #gaming #gamedevelopment #pixelart #gameengine

So... A uv is like a blanket for 3d objects?

[jsproductions]

I have been doing 3D design for a while now and I never really questioned why it was UV... just kinda accepted it 😆

Great video! I like to think about UV maps like wrappers from candies (like the chocolate santa)

[Worthsday]

I think a great way to visualize how UVs wrap around an object is to look at paper models.

Your explanation made this so much easier to understand thank you very much

[thegamesirege]

I've would never have discovered that on my own OwO Great explanation!

God bless y'all❤ ^w^

[Real-Guy]

Been working on making my own game for some time thanks for all the quick tips and help

[CakeandCosplay]

Huh 4 years of game design at uni and noone told us this 😅

[nonaG]

although I can't believe that's why they're called UVs I also can't fault the logic... lol

[Rose-rxly]

It took me MONTHS to figure this out on my own .... To think how much time 60 seconds could of have saved me xD

Hey I just wanted to know when you were planning on releasing a video on the plague doctor boss, no rush, its just that I just watched your video about the game jam, and it seems you are really excited about the boss so wanted to see the video as soon as possible! keep up the great work

[AnesPro]

Will you make Godot tutorials anytime soon?

[abra_escaped]

You telling me they don't have anything to do with ultraviolet light??

[EtronX]

I learned UV wrapping and unwrapping in university last year

W isn't rotation? That's just the 4th spatial co ordinate. I believe your mistake saying it's for rotation is because in a low level, 4th dimensional rotations are more common because it's faster. Cpus and GPUs have built in stuff for 4th dimensional maths because of things like that so that's why we include it too. There's also some other 4th dimensional uses I won't go into rn.



I may be stupid though feel free to prove me wrong. Saying W is for rotation still feels incorrect though.

So it has nothing to do with the sun at all?

Day 9 of asking
I'm going to start learning code and I want to know how to make a pogoing mechanic like in hollow knight but i don't want the same amount of knock back for normal ground attacks can you please make a vid on this mechanic
