hands down the best UV wrapping tutorial for zBrush I have found 🙌

I will always love UV Master. Can't wait until they release the updated version and I hope it supports UDIMs too.

I dont use UVs all that often in Zbrush but I always come back to this video for a quick refresher, such a great video!

For those looking for a quick refresher of UV Master process and don't want to stare at a static video screen, go straight to 3:10.

Amazing tutorial guys a real-time saver...

This was useful to me, thanks!

Great tutorial, you actually saved me a lot of time, thanks!

Awesome, happy to help!

Nice video as always :V Can you also make a video about good and bad UV mapping? Like general tips to make sure that UVs are properly made with no stretch or seems issue, that could be soooo usefull for lots of people, me for sure.

Thats actually a really good idea. Thanks. On the list!

Thank you! All the other videos I watched on this were just people speeding through it in thirty seconds and not explaining any of the details.

Thanks for the tut. Is there no way to project UVs from an old mesh to a Dynameshed mesh (or another mesh)? I cant seem to find any info regarding it. Thanks

thanks guys

this video made me realise that I really love the sound of your intro

Very nice tutorials. Could you please advise me how to export this UVW to Maya, thank you.

This is a very interesting topic.. I love it. Can you go further and show how to take it to marmoset toolbag.. from zbrush to marmoset.. Thank you lots. Cheers!!

@@FlippedNormals thank you lots, perhaps do a marmoset tutorial, I'll buy it most def. Substance to marmoset that would be great as well. Thank you.

hello, just had one question if i have 13 million active point subtool, how should i proceed with the uv unwrapping. I ve tried this method but zrush froze. Should i decimate it , should i retopologize it first ?

Well Cool, what about high poły models? I have a dog with 4kk polygons without lower subdiv My UV master is a bit wacky even on low poly model (30k) polys it can just freeze What I can do with it?

Thank you for the aha! moment

Thanks for the video! When I hit Work on clone, it reduces my poly count, how can this be maintained?

That probably means youre working on multiple subd levels

Thats why i prefere working with light polygone models and tweak udim with Blender, i have much more control to resize the UV Islande to get maximum texel resolution, zbrush was best at sculpting very high detail on finishing process.

place seams in maya and unwrap it in Zbrush sounds a cool trick gonna try it , Thanks Guys

Its a really cool technique!

Can i use Zremesher and UV master for production in complicated objects and small details ? Like neckless ... zippers .. small sculpted details since they are a lot and its really a lot to retopologize all of this .

You should probably model these in a regular modeling software like Maya

Don’t Maya quick select sets convert to ZBrush polygroups or something like that?

I hope someone can answer, When I try this method the Control painting ONLY ON THE FACE ignores the Protect and puts the seams on the front of the face. The Attract feature will not work But on every other part of the body, arms, legs, pelvis, torso etc it works. I've been at it for 3 days and I have no idea what's going on. Can anyone help?

Hey guys! Sorry if this off topic but got a quick question. I'm texturing a character in Substance Painter, and she has a mix between cloth, metal, leather, and skin materials. I'm just wondering in Substance Painter should I use Metallic-Rough or Specular-Glossiness. I know I can convert them but what do you usually use? I want to texture the asset in pretty much one substance project, and the materials are separated by UDIMs, but once you chose the PBR workflow in Substance, it stays that way for everything in the project.

Good question! We prefer metal-rough, though the end result will be exactly the same. Honestly it's a personal preference - or whatever is dictated by your pipeline.

Hi! I have a question I'm trying to unwrap uv with clone but I don't get the flatten result but instead I get many little pieces. What can I do? Please help and thank you!

maybe a dumb question but i just got into texturing: why can a low poly tool that HAD multiple subdivision levels have high res maps/texture? and why cant you just create uv maps on the low poly and divide ONLY the uv maps? or am i getting it wrong?

@DannyshRosli

Hello im a year late. But to answer your question . Most low poly or majorities of low poly have high details maps because , those maps are baked from a high poly maps. The those baked textures are used on low poly having the illusion of high detail mesh.

Where's the sound in the intro?!

Hey guys, I know your busy, but can you or does anyone else know where I can find Flipped Normals UV intro for beginners? This seems to be for intermediate artist because they throwin’ out that Alien language again.

I know this video is older but I had a question FN. So, I went to work on clone...then clicked on unwrap...but for some reason the unwrap takes several minutes to complete. My active points: 7,921 Total points: 7,921 so I don't know why it's massively slow unwrapping. Thanks again

We have a tutorial on this. The difference is only the polycount, the approach is exactly the same :) flippednormals.com/downloads/how-to-retopologize-a-full-character/

Mmm.. can't upvote.. it's on 666.. I don't wanna ruin that.. Thanks for the tutorial though! Quick and dirty UVs was exactly what I was looking for!

Sorry but until pixologic don't release a decent uv plugin uv master its like grasping on straws, its not near as good or effective as maya/max/uvlayout/etc unwrap, so unless you cant use any other program i would not recommend to anyone to use this plugin because it does not even a decent work, its just something you would use on a emergency but its pretty bad unwrapping and terrible arranging uvs

No disagreement here! It's a fantastic tool when it comes to quick and dirty UVs, but avoid for production.

So we gonna talk about how it's basically a Pepsi man

Just im search something to make Uv

complicated option for no reason, it's easier for me to uv a model in 3dsmax and import low poly in zbrush then project details

They really need to update UV master. If you are working on stuff that don't need to be animated then i guess it's ok. If not this is a pain to use.

Yes please! We'd love an update to UV Master. It's been unchanged for years and years now.

"really quick and works really well" said no one ever using Zbrush.

these guys talking about how amazing uv master is and how it doesn't care about poly counts meanwhile im here tryina unwrap a basic 20k poly shape without crashing

Can you pls scratch start a 3d female body with face. I want to know the techniques of how to start...

This is a helpful tutorial, but it feels incomplete because you didn't show us how to go back and unwrap other subtools. How are we supposed to know what to do next? You need to be more specific with the steps that come after the main purpose of the tutorial. Other than that, great tutorial.

No you're doing it wrong always do the UV seam in another program, to get them where you want then unwrap with existing seams. UV master has no equal when it comes to unwrapping. Well it works for me anyway !

Again to much talk for 00000000000000 result

I specialize in UVs and have taught it many times when I was a college teacher. My advice is UV Master is garbage. Just use Max or Maya. UV Master UVs look like road kill. I always failed the character people that used it.

@NinbAdam

well technically in most cases it should work if you're 3D painting your mesh so UVs won't matter much as long as the seams are in a reasonable places and the texel density matches.

@@NinbAdam in my production experience Zbrush UVs never met my level of acceptable. I would have the character artist dump his low to a noobie to rip it for them since they never seemed to think that was their job. I'm a tech artist/modeler so I am never ok with something you can get away with. Plus I can rip in Max as fast as UV Master.

Like we mention in the video, we wouldnt use this for hero assets in a production. Then it's all Maya and selecting proper seams. That said, its fantastic for quick jobs where you just need some super fast UVs. If you select the seams in Maya and use UV Master to unfold, the unfolding is fantastic in ZBrush

No my man its not a quick uvs, is dirty and bad and ist not so professional 1000 times better in maya max modo or other software EVen blender much more better not in Zbrush
