    Remember kiddos, always apply scale before UV unrwapping, otherwise the entire texture will stretch.

    For those who are having the problem where the subdivision modifier is stretching the texture out, you have to go to the modifier and in Advanced > UV Smooth select "Keep Corners". At least it worked for me !

    Just a heads up to anyone running Blender 2.9, I was having issues with the Unwrapping in the UV Editor the first time I tried it. Instead of selecting Unwrap as Andrew suggests you need to select all, press U then click on Smart UV Project then click ok. By clicking Unwrap my vertices were an absolute mess every time, drove me nuts. The above method worked perfectly for me!

    I'm running 2.92 and Unwrap works fine, Smart UV Project is and automatic unwrapping of the mesh. You don't need to mark any seams for that. In the Unwrap method you have to mark all the seams manually, maybe you missed something (like on edge on the face).

    10:25 I was stuck on this for a bit, but eventually figured it out. Make sure to normalize your object's scale to 1 before unwrapping it! If your scale is wonky like mine was, the grid ends up all stretched. To normalize the scale, simply select your object in Object Mode, press CTRL+A, and select "scale".

    Definitely finding these useful for a little side-project I’ve been tinkering with since finishing going through your donut tutorial. As a beginner, one thing I found with UV unwrapping is that sometimes it just comes down to eyeballing and seeing what feels right. I even found a couple or situations where having a seamless texture over a corner of an object looked somewhat off and adding a seam ended up seeming more natural. It’s as you say wit the “homework”, there are some times where just giving something a go yourself is a great way to learn. Your tutorials certain help give me the confidence to try a few things on my own. Even if your next tutorials tell me where I went wrong and how to correct it. Best way to learn, I find.

    A few things I had to fix to make the UV grid texture show up properly. First, before applying the Mirror modifier to the bar, I had to go back and delete a face where the other side of the bar was being mirrored (at the Z-axis). Second, APPLY SCALE (in Object Mode) before doing an UNWRAP (in Edit Mode).

    If you're like me, and have the tutorial video sharing space on the screen with Blender... You may have some options at the top of the Blender scene crowded out, like the button for switching to Viewport Shading mode. In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, I saw BlenderGuru do something to slide the buttons over, which clued me in to try things. First thing I tried was using the scroll wheel while the mouse cursor hovered over the buttons. Which worked. TL;DR If you're working in a tiny Blender window where some buttons are not visible due to the size of the window: Try putting the mouse cursor over where they should be, and spin the scroll wheel on your mouse.

    Yup! Good tip! But the pattern is too large. To adjust this: 1. head into the Shader editor, click the Checker Image Texture and press Ctrl+T (node wrangler addon) 2. increase the X and Y scale in the Mapping node to something larger than 1. For me, I found 6 to be a sweet spot. This will cause distortion for now. 3. Remove the distortion by plugging the UV output (It's Generated by default) into the Texture Coordinate node into the Vector input of the Mapping node. :)
