Teapot, Part 1: UV Mapping the Handle

Christopher Tyler May, 18th 2014 0 Comments
This UV mapping tutorial shows how to get a predictable UV unwrap of a metallic teapot handle using the 7.5 Conform feature. It specifically shows how to generate initial UVs using a projection texture and then discusses the importance of polygon normal direction relative to the projection direction.
