The best texel density tutorial ive seen so far, and a very nice and calm way of teaching. Wish you had an tutorial on how to unwrap a building

[vivekkumarranjan]

This isn't just a video. It's a story of Texel Density.

Man, thank you so much for this 5 minutes of video, i had a hard time figuring out texel density and more specifically their application during, a long, long time. With the addon and your video I understood everything.

Really nice video. The background music was awesome too. Created a great mood to an otherwise dry subject.

For anybody watching this tutorial, u need to download TWO addons, Texel Density AND TexTools, since the install part it's accelerate for some reason if u can miss the addons part, great tutorial. Cheers.

The fact this isn`t in blender by default after 20 years is astonishing, i jump between using maya and blender, Maya just has this feature by default

Very nice video, awesome production quality and great narration. Thanks for the info.

[wisemonkeys]

Subscribed and liked! Amazing content. I only have good things to say here haha. Your voice is nice and soothing, your approach is clear and easy to understand and the technique just helped me to solve an issue that I have been dealing with for quite a while. Thumbs up!

[ChristinaMcKay]

Great video, well done. Thanks for sharing.

[KennyChu]

That solved half of my problem. Thankyou

problem: I cant get the same checkerd pattern to be visable. the only thing I could figure out is the "assign cheker material" button. but i came up with the default multicolor UV pattern. is there a way to change it?

[temptor]

Doesnt "average island Scale" in blender (in the UV section) essentially give you the same texel density? SO you can take all your UVs, highlight them all- then do "average island scale" and then pack them, that should give you uniform texel density, right?

That is the secret of why AAA games looks so great without losing frames per second.

[dommafia]

Very userful, thank you very much for your time.

[kartikeye]

I am interested in your texturing workflow from blender to substance. I will definitely purchase if you do a course on it.

QUESTION PLEASE, why when i try set my td to 4k, it always bigger than the Uvmap

[MrReactric]

I watched a the story of Texel Density. Like a trial of a movie :) very nice. thanks

Nice. How does uvpackmaster or any other uv packing tools fit with this addon? are the features redundant? Thank you

[HAJJ]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial! Question for you:

Example:
My assets:
High polygon OBJ model
4K texture image shader in another software render engine

If I import my OBJ into Blender, set the target resolution to 4K in the density tool, and calculate the density to check (let’s say it calculates it as 10.24) what it currently is, then change the texel density to the max 40.96, then use UVPackMaster to automatically scale the UV of that imported model and pack it, will it KEEP the newly chosen (40.96) texel density? If not, is there a auto slicer addon tool for UVs to fit a certain texel density and resolution?

But if UVPackmaster does, do I need to export the OBJ a certain way out of Blender to keep that texel density information that was changed?

And last question, when I import that OBJ into Blender in the first place, do I need to unwrap it even if it has been already unwrapped? (I will use Zen UV if I have to, I also don’t want any UV distortion when unwrapping it so will Zen UV make seams that won’t cause that to happen?)

[PonteRyuurui]

did you really use skyrim as an example of high res textures?
