Unwrap Uvs question

Mr Digital

Hi, i always get in trouble with easy models, but this one is kinda confusing, what is the best way to get uvs from this parts?



Thanks in advice.

For the internal part cut one of your loops so it basically makes it into a rectangle. As far as the bottom piece I would connect it to some of the other parts but it looks fine the way it is if you don't want to.

The model itself is not that complicated, so it should be fairly easy thing to do. One thing to keep in mind when doing uv's is that they all function like unwrapped box. If you know how to make a box from paper it is essentially like that for all uv's.

As for the problem you are having, make planar projections from the all sides of the model, and triangle part too (top, and other sides of it) and than weld uv's vertices together. After you do that you can try relaxing entire uv island that you created.

As Busterizer says you need to split or 'cut' the model somewhere in order to properly unfold it.



Bonus points if you can see what's not optimal about the above unwrap. Excluding packing / edge padding.

Thank you i managed to unwrap the uvs like both said, only i need to see if the texture isnt affected.
