Learn UV Unwrapping with Blender for Unity 3D Game Design (Udemy.com)

I struggled with this subject for ages, I am Autistic and for some reason UV related things were so hard to get stuck into my head! I have a few of Billy's courses and I really like his approach. I am really happy that at least now have a much better understanding of the UV mapping in Blender and can move forward with a bit more confidence.

I've been trying to unwrap a car but I've struggled to find a good tutorial and even thought I'm only on Section 2 video 10 I can already tell that I will soon discover everything I need to know. Very good course. Very thorough. Billy really sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Thank you.

This is the only course I could find that addresses the core principles of UV unwrapping. It starts off explaining how to unwrap primitive shapes like cubes, spheres and cones. This may look simple at first glance, but there are some surprising subtleties involved. I had several "a ha" moments here. The course then moves on to more complex meshes, for which you get plenty of opportunity to practice. The learning curve felt exactly right for a beginner. Note that the course is presented using a Blender version that is more than 5 years old. Don't let that deter you from considering this course. I had no problem adapting to the most recent Blender LTS. The UV unwrapping features still work the same way and are easy to locate in the new, post-2.8 UI.

I didnt understand why the factory settings for blender had to be the second chapter of a uvwrap course. May be there is a reason - but that's not been made obvious yet. If I appreciate the reason I will go and update my rating to a better one.

This course has enabled me to consistently get good unwraps because it set my priorities right and supplied me with simple methods to slice my way through the topology. Billy's Folds vs Seams-Technique is easy to learn and can be applied to any kind of geometry, be it messy or just complicated. The course is peppered with sample models to train on. Each of these models, besides posing its own unwrapping problem is also a little parcours in spotting potential flaws in the model before actually unwrapping it, which sounds mean at first, but in the long run, makes sure that you apply the theory in a close-to-real-life situation. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get good unwraps!

Way better than I expected the course to be. Billy not only shows you how to do it but explains it thoroughly and really show why he is doing this specific way. The exercises were awesome to practice the concepts he shows earlier in the first section, they were nice challenges to newbies in UV mapping like me, so I definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to dive in UVs. Best course for UV mapping in my opinion. Thanks, Billy!

Really great tutorial serie! I always tried to avoid UV Mapping because to me it was a really complicated subject. But the instructor, Billy, makes this subject really easy to follow with clear instructions and explanations, basically making UV mapping fun to do! The only note is that it would be great if the instructor would show how to load the models and UV textures into Unity. It's turned out to be really easy, but it should be included into the course.

I've been using Blender for four years, so I already know about unwrapping/texturing. However, I still like to purchase courses to pick up on tips and tricks that I either didn't know or had forgotten. That said, this is an EXCELLENT course so far. The instructor is clear and knowledgeable, and he has good pacing and delivery. This was a great purchase!

This is another great, practical, hands-on course by Billy McDaniel that sets and gets you into a great workflow for UV unwrapping any 3D model. After laying down the foundations for UV unwrapping and the UV tools in Blender, Billy takes you through 6 UV unwrapping projects, each with their own model and unique challenges. If you approach this not as a series of lectures but as a series of workshops, in which you try to UV unwrap each model and its elements in a couple of different ways, the process of assessing a model and UV unwrapping will become very familiar and can reduce what might be a daunting process into a fluid workflow.

The course after only the first two modules is a bit all over the place. Not bad, at all- don't get me wrong. Just it maybe lacks the clarity and direction that I've found in other courses. It's a bit of un-organized info all thrown at the screen. EDIT: Disregard this review. I forgot this was a second course that goes after the basic one. It'll probably ends up with a higher score.
