Vandrath Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Recently I have learned the basics of 3d modeling using Blender 2.6 and like a lot of others I am having trouble with UV unwrapping. I have a few models that are textured and near release but I feel that I am missing some concept when it comes to minimizing stretch when unwrapping. I realize that you cannot have complete perfection on a model for texturing but you can control where the stretching is. My problem is just that, the stretching. Keep in mind that the methods I am about to describe are used in Blender 2.6 and are not perfect.In Blender what matters most when gauging stretch, area or angle stretch or do they both matter to a certain extent? When using a checkered map do ALL the checkers have to be perfectly square for there to be no stretching in a given area?When viewing Skyrim models imported to blender as .OBJ there is a fair amount of UV stretching in certain spots. Is this so the model can have equilibrium where a design is present? and stretching where low detailed areas are? If anyone could provide some insight into this or some good tutorials on reduced stretching it would be a massive help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
