I was wonderign if one of our pros has some tips on how to do UV mapping. Currently I created a notestand and try to UV map is. The problem is, that it is from one piece of wood, which means that the grain of the wood should flow evenly straight up on the pole. When I try to UV map this though the grain sticks in all kind of directions. I also tried to make the faces individually, but of course this is an awfully lot of work to do, and I can't properly aligh the grain over several faces most of the time.

 

So if there are some helpfull things that one should know, now is agood time to mention it. :)

 

Thx. :)

THE free version is fine for low poly UV mapping. The commercial one just means you can unwrap higher poly objects.

If you unwrap with this, you shouldn't have any problems with the mesh flow.

IT would help if you posted a picture of the object and the UV map.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
