Partial transcription of the video
“Previously. we covered character topology in another course. so we'll revisit it now to focus on cities. Let's delve into this topic together and explore further. In this practical session. we're applying UVs to our character. We'll begin by dividing the character into separate parts. as previously done: torso. limbs. head. and the basic elements. This method ensures each section is handled efficiently for optimal UV mapping. Thanks. Now that we’ve finished the UVs of our character. in the next course we'll add lights and rendering strokes. and create the blend shapes for a character.”
