About the video: Create UV Maps
Overview
“After I finish the base part, I'll talk about UV maps and how to map the part. You will learn to export that map to make the textures that you are going to include in the model. This can be done by hand and then scanned, or you can work directly into Photoshop or Illustrator.”
In this video lesson Luis Berrón addresses the topic: Create UV Maps, which is part of the Domestika online course: Design and 3D Modeling for Jewelry. Learn to create jewelry that tells a story using Maya and ZBrush, from the concept to the prototype ready for 3D printing.
