One of the best tutorials on Udemy that I have found so far! If UV Unwrapping has been one of those things you understand how it works, but no idea how to actualy do, this tutorial is for you. Exceptional quality and excellent content!

Eğitmen harika bir anlatım ile dersi işlemiş.Gerçekten anlaması zor bir konuydu ancak çok güzel anladım.Sadece derste işlenen modeller yok ancak o kadarda önemli değil.Çünkü modeller genelde basit ve siz bir örneğini yapabilirsiniz.

Really good course overall. The fact the model was not downloadable didn't bother me that much, because the shapes were simple enough to model similiar stuff and practice unwrapping on my own. The only thing I would add is a section with some more organic shapes - some complex furniture for example, because all the objects in the course were pretty regular and repetitive. Nevertheless, with the knowledge that I gained throughout the course I think I would manage to unwrap most of the objects, which is amazing. Before I've watched many tutorials about unwrapping on youtube, but I was still struggling every time I had to unwrap some object, and the technique that I learned in this course makes me feel much more confident about unwrapping. I recommend the course

The course in general is ok for beginners.However not having supplied assetts to check out unwraps and general models leaves this in the range of a youtube video as opposed to a course.Certain extras would need to be provided to recomend this as a course.

very good course! The tools explained are covered in depth! Unfortunately not all tools and functions within the Unwrap UVW modifier are explained - real shame. No example files! A must have and a basic expectation in today's on demand learning.

No exercise file, so can't follow along. Hot keys are used too much in the course. I understand they are useful but while teaching I think it needs to be used less or at least always explained which one was used and for what. Overall - not bad so far.

Great course, the best I've found for 3DS Max. Finally, I understand UV mapping! Reduced the stars a little as it is a shame 3D model is not supplied. You can however, still learn plenty by quickly modelling similar shapes and following along.

The instructor is way above clear to teaching the any single detail. I've always wanted the learn uv unwrapping but cannot understand the logic. This course make me do it. Thanks.

Great techniques and tips learned from this course. I have to say, it's hard to find good unwrapping tutorials, but i'm happy that i found this one. One suggestion though, i wish he also use quick peel tool here. Thanks.

It was an absolutely useful course for me, I really was looking for these tips and tricks and UV workflows. It helps me a lot to work more efficiently on my UV mappings. The explanations on how to use the toolset properly, really helps me to understand when and how to use them. Great course!!!
