- 1. UV Unwrapping in Game Development Lecture Presentation | Duration: 15– 20 Minutes [Your Name] – [Your College Name]
- 2. Introduction to UV Unwrapping • UV unwrapping is the process of converting 3D models into 2D space for texture application. It enables accurate texture placement and prevents distortions. Figure: 3D cube vs. 2D UV map
- 3. Understanding UV Coordinates • UV coordinates refer to the 2D system (U: horizontal, V: vertical) used in mapping textures to 3D models, replacing X, Y, Z axes in texture space. Diagram: U and V axes overlay on a cube
- 4. UV Unwrapping Workflow • 1. Model Preparation • 2. Seam Placement • 3. Unwrapping • 4. Layout Optimization • 5. Texture Application Illustration: Seams and unwrapped UV map
- 5. Techniques for UV Mapping • • Planar Mapping • • Cylindrical Mapping • • Spherical Mapping • • Automatic Mapping Comparison image: Mapping methods on different shapes
- 6. Why UV Mapping Matters • • Enables detailed and realistic textures • • Essential for game performance • • Minimizes texture stretching or compression Screenshot: Proper vs. poor UV mapping
- 7. Best Practices • • Place seams where they are less visible • • Maintain uniform texel density • • Avoid overlapping UV islands • • Use checker textures to verify layout Figure: Checker pattern test on model
- 8. Tools for UV Mapping • • Blender (free) • • Maya (Autodesk) • • 3ds Max • • Substance Painter (for texture painting) UI Screenshots: Blender UV Editor, Substance Painter
- 9. Common Challenges • • Stretching and distortion • • Seams showing in final texture • • Inefficient texture space usage Figure: Problematic UV islands example
- 10. Advanced Concepts • • UDIM Tiling • • Ptex Texturing • • Multi-Tile Layouts Diagram: UDIM tile layout for high-res texturing
- 11. Case Study: UVs for Game Character • A humanoid character’s UVs using cylindrical and planar mapping. • Efficient layout improves performance and visual fidelity. Example: Character model with seams and UV map
- 12. Summary & Recap • • UV unwrapping is essential in 3D workflows • • Accuracy and optimization are key • • Tools and techniques are abundant Icon grid: tools, tips, and techniques
- 13. Q&A • Open discussion and questions from the class. Image: Classroom or Q&A icon
