Hacking Unwrap: Time To Stop Being Afraid Of It | 3ds Max

i love you man

It’s very helpful to my workflow, and it’s a great sharing.

Very cool.
Autodesk needs to have an independent uv window like blender rather than requiring a modifier every time you want to adjust or even just SEE your uv clusters

Hmmmmmm why not just use the seam tool in the unwrap uvw modifier, does the same thing with out all that messing about and its even faster and none destructive

Very simple and direct to the point!

Awesome trick. You mentioned it covers 80% of your unwrapping needs. So what are remaining 20? An extra video would be huge. Thanks!

I got this video recommended right after an entire day of unwrapping several detailed models manually ;-;

U save my life. Thanks for this BIG TUTORIAL

Nice tutorial, I never thought about doing the split out of the unwrap and since the selection for unwrap is not up to date (or as good as it is in Edit Poly/Editable Poly ) sounds like a good hack. I think the only advantage in terms of selection directly on the unwrap is the Symmetric selection.
One thing that can make your life easier for the align is the "Align to Edge" button. You select one edge and it will align the island to a 90° angle

Never expected one day John Travolta would teach us CG software tricks

I followed everything exactly but once I go to reset peal, it simple does not work the way you show in the video :(

amazing as always! really clear to understand!

Wow, subscription!

Super! I never thought that

Very interesting! Thanks)

Amazing tutorial. The best tutorial I've seen on unwrap. Clear and objective

so cool, tanks

Thank you for this tutorial. This method is so practical.

This trick is awesome!! Thanks

Pure gold.

Thank you so much !!!

Hy in 3Ds Max 2023 there are problems with uvw unwrap there options are not working properly objects not getting properly relax they have added (unfold3D) it is way too much confusing they removed start relax option if you have figure it out plz. make a pacific tutorial on 3Ds Max 2023 Unwrap UVW

Man you ve just unplugged years of sorrow with unwrap haha thanks a lot

Well, when I split edges, they actually unweld, but that pretty much it. The object is still considered a single element. What I have to do is detach the islands into different elements.

Thank you very much 🥰

Thanks a lot for this great tip. At first it did not work pressing "reset peel".in max2023 I had to go into the "edit uvws" window and there at there at peel I had to change from unfold3d to lscm(legacy) . Then do the reset peel again.

This is such an amazing tutorial. Thank you so much for this.

excellent bro

Wow, that's an answer to all my unwrap questions. Thank you very much !

thank you, this is very helpful

That's gold, and i despise unwrapping, but Unreal it's so picky about that i have to deal with.
But out of curiosity, if i skip the manual rotation and jump straight to the autopack island, does align them or i'll end with perfectly packed with wrong map rotation islands?

Thanks so much for this channel and for sharing your experience! Legend!

Too many steps. :) The tool you need is already inside UnwrapUVW, is called BREAK and does the same thing that you are doing with the split operation. You select the seams, do the Break and do the QuickPeel, and you got your islands. You can do the selection inside the UVEditor panel or in the viewports while the editor is active. Also, the loop selector inside de UVEditor only selects inside the islands, and that helps a lot. It has improved a lot in the last few years, i really like the new peel algorithm "unfold". Heck, i liked it a lot, when Unfold3d Magic was an external software, and i'm very happy to have it inside 3dmax at last.

Oh lala!! where was I sleeping! Thank you man you changed my life

Unbelivable you are amazing bro, thank you so much, Keep it up👍👍

This is genuinely the best hack I have ever seen!!!

AMAZING! FCK! 🤯

Neat!

Superb

Hi !
Idk why, but it doesnt work for me :(
I looked closely if I did any mistakes but its not the case : when I click on "reset peel", it doesnt reset it. I'm on 3ds max 2023 and idk why it doesnt work at all :(

Your tuts is a real honey !!!! I love you !
But one question ! You have many hairs why cut them ??? Héhéhéé i want them !
SO real question ! Why we need to align numbers UVs on part of chair ? What's happened if they doesn't aligned ? Thank you !!

this is no little hack this is a magor one. thank you.

heh working with 3ds Max for over 10y now and yes this was actually helpful

wow , really good trick!

Thats what I call a wrap! OHBOYyyyyyyy

Man that is an excellent tip, I can't believe I never thought of it! Thanks

My issue is whenever I shell a model and choose strip for the edge it never seems scale correctly when I unwrap. You think you can just scale it horizontally but the polys are spaced differently from the model, so you have parts that are stretched while others are squeezed, bugs the life out of me. Peel doesn't usually help due to needing to maintain straight line.

Nice trick!, I have to admitt :-)

Such a cool idea, such a cool Guy!! Thank you.
