The second DVD in our texturing series explores the Unwrap UVW modifier tool in 3dsmax 8.0. The DVD opens with an explanation of the fundamental concepts behind UV unwrapping. Then moves on to give a thorough introduction to all of the user interface elements of the tool. And then Chris takes you through a comprehensive real world project that will give you a solid understanding of the techniques and workflows of the unwrapping process.

This DVD is aimed at an intermediate level user that has a grasp of the fundamentals of texturing and mapping within 3dsmax. It is an ideal continuation of the skills learnt in DVD1 in this series UV Mapping & Texturing.

Customer Feedback

The Unwrap UVW Tool " focused on the unwrap tool, which for so long I had been frustrated with, it provided an excellent real world example, and also gave an insight into the workflow of unwrapping an object. "
