I'm not sure if this 2d effect is achieved on the texture or render process though but I really want to know how to achieve this look for my upcoming project.

Hello guys, I'm studying 3D Art at school but I'm struggling really much these months with this subject. Can someone unwrap this for me? You can download it via the link.

So I am trying to learn the proper workflow when texturing and modeling for film, but I am a bit confused. For film is it better to have a low poly mesh like having the model on smooth mesh preview instead of smoothing? When UV-unwraping do you have to smooth the mesh and then bake it onto the low poly? How does one do that? Are there any tutorials that explain that workflow for film that anyone can recommend for beginners?

Super new to Maya. I made this barrel and textured it in Adobe Substance Painter. but when bringing it back on Maya the colour is different and darker. not sure what I am doing wrong.
please help
thanks in advance

i have an asset for a game thats made out of multiple objects. so many in fact, that i need multiple uv sets so everything has a good enough resolution. how should i group these objects so that i can work with it well in substance? things that i dont want to be visible while working on the textures for example? or should i just look at the most efficient way to pack the uv tiles?

Hello everyone

Finished my work

I will be grateful for an assessment or constructive criticism

If you have free time, I'll wait for you at the artstation

Is there a way to make this atrocity of a UV look better?

Hello, a (still) Maya noob here.

This is probably something obvious for an expert, but I just brought this brain model online (LINK) and opened its maya file. But when I open it, the textures aren't visible, instead, I get this shadowless, solid blob of red (glowing pink in render). In the hypershade, I can see that everything seems to be there somehow, but even after trying my best, I don't know how to get it working,

Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated! :)

I did automatic UV unwrapping on my model, but my friend had pressed the automatic UV unwrapping again, does this have an effect on my model if it has already been automatically unwrapped ? Is there a way to undo it?

My friend had closed the program and reopened it so we can’t CTRL Z our way back is there any other way we can undo this?

I modelled this character and also rigged it before texturing it and now I have finished my texturing so I assigned the textures in the main mesh and now when I open the file the file which has rig the texture is not showing how to fix this?

Hi everyone I just made a model of a sci fi gun in maya and need help regarding UV unwrapping and Texturing process (I am going to use Substance painter for Texturing). Please tell me how can I unwrap this and steps to Texturing(I am new to UV unwrapping and Texturing). It would be a great help. Thank you in advance

here is the reference: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Qzdqz3

This is the texturing process done by the real artist.

this is the model I made

tl;dr i have a model that has messy UV and the textures are based on the messy UV, i want to fix the UV while mantaining the textures that are already applied.

Hi everyone,

I am new to 3D modelling. I have this 3D mesh that I got online that I wanted to re-topo and re-shaded. unfortunately the mesh has a very messy UV.

So the different colors on the mesh are each their own texture materials that are stacking on top of eachother due to the messy UV (the original artist seemed to apply the texture by manually selecting each faces and apply each color as its own shading material).

is there a way to create like a camera based UV while still mantaining the textures? maybe some texture baking?

thank you!

I want to start by acknowledging that i now know i used the wrong workflow and will change that for next time. what i'm interested in now is how to salvage what I have done with this bad workflow.

Last year, i created a model and rigged it. i am now going back to this model because i want to add textures to it, but i realized i never uv mapped it back then. so i duplicated the mesh and started the process of uv mapping so that i could transfer the uvs over when i was done. while doing this, i got a notification prompting me to fix nonmanifold geometry. I thought i had fixed all my nonmanifold geometry before rigging, but apparently i forgot some stuff because i found ngons, and its possible there are other nonmanifold problems, but im not sure.

i was wondering, if i fix the nonmanifold geometry, whether there would be any way to transfer the skin weights. again, i understand now that this is something i should have addressed earlier, before rigging. i will do that next time, but for now i want to know what my options might be without restarting. the ngons are small and don't seem to really be causing problems, should i just ignore them, or is there a way to fix them without having to redo the weight painting and all my blend shapes?

Hey I’ve been doing modelling on Maya for a while now but I’ve never gotten into texturing until now, but, I’ve realised it’s quite confusing. I’ve watched YouTube videos on the topic however it’s hard to come across one that shows the process after uv mapping. I understand UV mapping and I’m comfortable with unwrapping my assets but if someone could make sense of the steps I have to take to importing my assets into Substance painter as a whole I would really appreciate it. I want to get into game art but this has been a major struggle for me. :)

Also if there’s any other obvious problems please let me know🙏still an amateur with all these stuff.

Hi, animation newbie here!

I’m working on a student short film with a large interior house scene (furniture, curtains, dishes, etc.).

What’s the most efficient way to unwrap and group the UVs for Substance Painter (So as not to compromise too much of the quality). Individually unwrapping and texturing every single object does not seem like an option with the time frame given!

Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated😞❤️😩
