Although I missed some details of the cenotaph, I am pleased with the result.Īlso, here is a barrel I made before by following this tutorial. select only one face and Unwrap U > Follow Active Quads. (the edges marked by red color in screen, just select two edge loops with Alt + Shift select) select all faces and Unwrap U > Reset. Mark Seams Ctrl + E to let blender know where to split a net. Quick UV Mapping of a Torus in Blender easy & simple. Basically to get more control over Unwrapping, you have to.
I have tried unwrapping the torus after making seams along an equator and a meridian in the uv editor. Virtually fill holes in mesh before unwrapping, to better avoid overlaps and preserve symmetry. The distance to leave between UV islands. Edges to mark where the mesh is cut for the purposes of unwrapping. UVs that are part of any other face will not be affected. The result should be something like the picture below. Faces to participate in the unwrap operation. The problem Im having is mapping an image onto a torus. Scroll down the list and enable 'UV: Magic UV'. Quick UV Mapping of a Torus in Blender easy & simple - YouTube. Im currently working in Blender 2.78 using cycles trying to create a realistic toroidal/doughnut planet. Select the outer right vertical edgeloop in the uv editor, and press ‘P’ to pin it, and ‘W’ and select ‘align auto’. In Blender, go to File > User Preferences > Add-ons. (I also deleted the faces of the component shapes that couldn't be seen from the outside because they were useless.) Then, by overlaying the unwrapped shapes, I could save time when painting, as paint applied to a surface will also apply to all overlapping UV coordinates. To install the Magic UV addon: If youre using a version of Blender before 2.79 (the addon is included by default in later versions): place the uvmagicuv folder in the Blender/ (version number)/scripts/addons folder. Methods included beveling (softening edges by adding more faces to an object) and using loop cuts to divide objects for further manipulation. Before adding the colour and texture, I first used UV editing to "unwrap" the 3D shapes that make up the cenotaph. I manipulated cube, cylinder, and torus (doughnut) shapes to make the intial structure. In this self study module, we were to model a Tasmanian tourist attraction in Blender. I chose to model the Hobart Cenotaph, shown below
