UV Mapping | learning

Probably the wrong area for this post but I don’t know here it would belong.

Where did you learn to use uv mapping?

Ive watched around 2 hours of youtube tutorials and im still completely lost and cannot get uv mapping to work with something as simple as a table. (using blender) (It wont let me assign blender uv mapping textures as a .png to a material)
Anyone got any videos/tuts that helped them?

How do you create a material containing uv mapped textures?

(screen shot attached here)

I have exported uv mapped .png to unity but cannot create a material or do anything nothing works even if i could how the **** could I recognize what part is what?

Hey iamhats,

I have a video on basic UV mapping here

To get the UV map as a texture:

  1. Model the object you are trying to create.
  2. UV unwrap and adjust the UV map to what you want.
  3. Export the UV Map in Blender using
    UV’s > scripts > save UV face layout
  4. Import the texture and model into Unity.
  5. Attach the texture to the material on the object in the scene.

Hope that helps! If you need additional help, let me know.
