UV tutorial needed

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/UV tutorial needed

Sir Gak(Posted 2005) [#1]
Hi, all. I am not new to Blitz in the 2D ways, but I am finally biting the bullet and tackling Blitz 3D. I have posted two newbie questions regarding making a 3D door. I've gotten answers that basically tell me to do UV things to my door object. I guess I am dense, but is there some tutorial available that can teach me about UV mapping and coordinates and whatnot, so that I can create and texturize my 3D objects, etc? I am admitting my noncomprehension about what UV things are all about, so a helping hand would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Psionic has made some nice tutorials, you have to see for yourself which one is beginner friendly:
http://www.psionic3d.co.uk/tutorials.html

you may use the Freeware LithUnwrap 1.3 (last freeware version, use google)
or its shareware sequel UltimateUnwrap3D (kind of mustHave tool)
