CX Advanced, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This 7.5 modeling tutorials creates the front facing insets of an old wooden radio. It focuses on using N-gons to construct the insets and surrounding geometry in place of using subdivision surfaces.

CX Intermediate, CX UV Mapping, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This 7.5 UV mapping tutorial walks through the process of UV mapping a relatively simple food type package. It starts off with a very simple piece of subdivision surface geometry and shows why it's not quite optimal for unwrapping. It makes some adjustments to the geometry, and shows a 2 step process to get a good usable unwrap.

CX Advanced, CX UV Mapping, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This 7.5 UV mapping tutorial walks through the process of UV mapping a chair seat using 3 different approaches (direct conform, using planar projection, using BurnUV 'Use Box' option). These 3 approaches demonstrates different ways of dealing with topological challenges in a given model.
