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.
