Wings3D UVmapping Xvid Tutorial

ElysiumGX

I tried creating my first video tutorial. More like a demonstration actually, since Wings is a very simple app. This 7 minute video shows how to use functions like AuvCharts, Cuts, and Unfolding to quickly unwrap geometry for texturing.

The video was created using a registered version of Fraps. And the narration recorded using an opensource audio editor called Audacity. Everything was mixed together in Windows Movie Maker. Please excuse my narration, the timing is off at times, and I usually have trouble pronouncing big words.

If you're unfamiliar with Wings (you know who you are), or just looking for a different method for UVmapping, please check this out and tell me what you think.

Video now in Xvid format, thanks to lee3dee.

Nice Job!. Your voice is verty clear. You should put your name at the beginning of the tutorial, website, email etc. Incase anyone has any questions.

If you would like another video format, I converted it into a 22mb xvid file that I can send to you over AIM when I see ya online

Please host the xvid file also, as I refuse to deal with that wmv crap

But it is a good idea, UV mapping in Wings is really quite nice.

Hehe. Sorry about that. I'm not a fan of wmv either.
Tried unsuccessfuly to convert it to mov. I may consider purchasing Premiere Elements soon, if I plan to do something like this again.

Lee, I'll be on most of the day if you could send that file over. I appreciate that.

Wow, great work! I knew that Wings 3D was supposed to be good for UV Mapping, but I could never figure it out. When I saw what you did with the face after marking the edges for cuts I became a believer! Thanks!

ElysiumGX

Thanks hobo. Glad i could help.

Video now converted to Xvid for your viewing pleasure, compliments of Lee3dee.

Ok I watched the video: Great work! And it will hopefully convert a few disbelievers to the true path

Just the sound is a bit strange, with the VLC player it stutters a bit, while with mplayer it doesn't. Not sure why
