• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi everyone!

I have received several e-mails from people having issues uv-unwrapping in Blender. Here is a video tutorial showing what I have learnt so far uv-unwrapping with Blender.

I hope that it helps!

Thanks, Kris
 
Great video, will also focus more on the UV map with vertex groups.
Is there a reason why you do not keep the 3D view and the UV map in sync?
I use this in most cases because you have a much better overview when grabbing and moving the texture?
Thanks for your video, it always helps me a lot.

Hi Mr. Jdberg!

Thank you!

And to answer your question :Is there a reason why you do not keep the 3D view and the UV map in sync? I do not know what you mean by 3D view and the UV map in sync. I will have to do some studding on this to find out what you are talking about.

If you have time Mr. Jdberg, maybe you could write a short example of what you are talking about so that I can update my UV-unwrap video.

Thank you, Kris:)
 
Hi Kris,
I can do this when I am back home again, at the moment I only have a tablet here and no blender running on it.
But there is a button in the lower area of the UV mapping that is called
Keep UV and Edit Mode Mesh Selection in Sync
It is left of the vertex mode but only in the UV window.
It shows all current mappings but only the selected in orange. You can select a part in the 3d window and it gets active in the UV window too and vice versa. Because all mappings are displayed, you get a good overview of your free spaces in the texture.
It works for faces, edges and vertices. I often select things via UV map instead of turning around my object in 3D view.

Thank You Very Much Mr. Jdberg!

I will try that tomorrow. That will help me a lot!!

Thank you, Thank you, Mr. Jdberg!:D

Sincerely, Kris:)
