So, so helpful. I'm surprised how such a simple thing is so hard to come across, so thank you for putting this out here, especially in such a concise and informational manner!
I cannot express my gratitude enough! I stubbornly refused to use Blender 3 because the installer I got was for 2.8 which someone told me was better. I got really comfortable with modeling but spend, no joke, 4 days trying to get textures working! I tried 3 but found it even less intuitive, but your video made it easier than ever, thank you!
One of the best short tutorials on uv I have seen, simply put and great paced. Cheers pal
Thank you! This tutorial is so helpful, especially in texturing landscapes (like texturing a transition from grass to rock to snow) and other meshes. Thanks again.
Thanks man! You helped me a lot! Please, continuing with your tutorials, because they are so helpful.
Yess this was exactly what I was looking for!! :D and simply and eaisly explained! Thank you for the awesome explanation!
Dude, Thank you so much! Amazing tutorials!
I have been messing about with Blender and other 3d software for years and I got to say this is one trick I never knew about. 👍👍👍👍👍
Your demo is really really good. A lot of blender demonstrations are super hard to follow, so kudos to you. I think for newbies we get some weird setting accidentally set and then it doesn't behave the same. In this video I had just one stumble where the grid for the unwrapping didn't show. Clicking the "UV Sync Selection" button to keep the edit view in sync with the UV panel -- then the grid showed.

Hi ty for the tuto! I wanna know how you can apply a different image to each side, ty!
This is great! Could you do this with a video file instead of an image and have it play on an object?
Thanks for the helpful tutorial
Nice vid. It has been helpful. How differently would I do the face select part for a keentools facebuilder model?
So helpful, thank youuuu
Thanks for the video, is it possible to add a moving image over a 3D object in blender?
Hey TutsByKai! Could you tell me how i export my obj with the images on it? (if i export my obj, the image will not appear)
What do you do about images that are seamless patterns? Like swatches designed in Adobe Illustrator or something tileable.
Tysm this helped alot
Very helpful, cheers!
I'm trying to set the image to be on only one side, but it's not working. How do I set the image to 1 side only?
@TutsByKai , it dosent have the button for selecting mode, what do I do?
what so do if your cube has bevel so has smooth edges. My UV map has many faces and also some of the cube faces are split in hald and are on other areas. This is so hard to explain basically my UVmap looks a lot more complicated than yours and i cant simply resize 6 faces to the size of my image. Is there an easier way to do it?
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH AHHH
Does anyone know how to resize the texture in UV Editing?
Hi, I watched this video. It's a great tutorial. But, this only works if the object is cube. I have a 3d rectangle and a rectangle poster, I want to stick that to the rectangle.But does not work. Can you make a tutorial for that. Thanks
hey man could you help me, so i got a 3d model and did all the unwrapping and all that and i got done painting it and i go back to layout and the paint is gone and i dont know how to apply the texture, if you know what im talking about could you help?
thanks for making this awsome tutorial for free
Oh, that’s cool!
THANK YOU
Does anyone know why I can’t seem to see the images when I render??
thanks this helped
I want to be able to add my heatblock so I can make a mold for a silicone sock can you help me?
thank you for a really simple blender tutorial. I could actually follow this. Do you have a complete series. I use b for artist UI btw. This video does help a bit. Even if you do have to press 1 to many button instead of just say selecting a tool. tool options, the you simply us your mouse to drag and scroll. or using a tablet pen to move the image the way you want. Fact: blenders UI, is 10 years out of date. for inclusivity, intuitivness, and simplicity. (and the core coder team does refuse to update it so those in the creation field with autism and low income can use it and have a frustration free experience) it also has 20 million complaints about it. yet they state the only have 14 million down loads haha.
I have a model that is not a cube, and my texture just stretches, while the texture is a 16x16 texture, how do I fix it? I clicked on "repeat" in the image properties - same thing
Thanks for explaining this so simply! All I'm trying to do is add an image onto a television screen object, and every other tutorial was convoluted and didn't even address simply adding a flat .png onto a flat object

Cool video , but how do you put images on a 3d object with curved and and round edges?
Can you do a tutorial on how to do it on one side and it’s a circle please 🥺???
Does this work for putting designs on mock ups ?
Outstanding these are the ones with does it work with any texture init
when i export them it doesn't have the texture on them. how do i fix this?
Can you sculpt with the image on the model?
What if the perspective of the imported image is different? Slightly side view but not fully.
Awesome
Thank You
@TutsByKai after I import into Unity I can’t see the image. Btw I love this tutorial!!!
This is the first time I've seen your channel. Can you also do this with video clips on the cube face for its different faces e.g. all four sides but leave the top and bottom free. If you have a link if you've already shown this it would be much appreciated. Thanks :)
TYSM
I love this tutorial straight to the point and informative but i need help flipping around a cylinder
does this work with Mac computers?
Hey there. How do I do this on other shapes? Like a sphere for example. I have a can and nothing shows up when I click tab.

You have to unwrap it still, it just won't be as easy to map, because it's not a square!
the vertex aren't appearing on the uv editor please help :((
there is still a part that white in the faces and wont allow me to place the image texture in that area
Tab button is not working for me...is there any other option to obtain the sides of square after applying the image
I got to upload the image but didnt see any squares in UV mode. Went back 5 times. Maybe because I have a newer version
Looks clear and effective. But the faces of my cube are triangles in UV editor 🗿 how to make it square?
Getting into the real complex stuff I see

I am a novice so please forgive me probably asking silly questions… but I’d like to add an image containing transparent area’s, would that make a difference? Would I need to delete the cube’s faces? Or just construct a cube from the image itself?
how come this doesn't work for objects that have been sculptures? I've tested and I can see the image on a cube but when I use a sculptured cube it doesn't appear and it shows as a white colour?
3:05 you can separate the single box out, but in my case it drags along the adjacent boxes together

You have to have the cube selected in the right hand window if in object mode click on the cube it should turn yellow switch the right window now to edit mode some use the Tab key or you can use the drop down menu you might have to mouse scroll to get to see all the menus in these smaller windows, now over in the left "UV" window you should see an icon with two arrows one is pointed up to the right the other is pointed down to the left hover over it with the mouse pointer and it should say UV sync selector click it that should restore the boxes on the UV map. This reply is for others who have had the same problem like me.
thank you , i solve my mistakes
This is a very helpful video. How do you add multiple images to a single object? I am trying to re-create a product box in Blender and each side of the box has a different image. How would I do this?

Glad to help!!! If you hit tab to go into edit mode, select the face you want to put the 2nd image on, then go to the the material tab, create a new material, hit assign and add the image texture like we did in this video - that should do the trick! Sounds like a lot more steps than it actually is HAHA!

i'm trying to use the same health model for both small and medium health, but the creator only made one health model, and made a .bmp for it. so when i rename medium to small, it replaces the original model but still pulls from the same .bmp file. in this case, i have no other option but to open it up in blender and look for the file name, and simply change it. however, upon opening the model in blender.. for one thing i don't know what I'm doing, but I still looked pretty much everywhere but I cannot find any info about the file name. at a bit of a loss here..

Try exporting the bmp from Blender and placing it in a different folder before importing again! Hopefully that works.
