What Does Unwrapping Mean?
Ahhh, unwrapping. Most new artists hate this. I personally
like unwrapping. It's a nice straightforward process that
everybody must go through on the way to creating a com-
pleted model. This chapter may be a little confusing to some.
It's a strange way of thinking, but you'll get it in no time!
Unwrapping
is a term used to describe the process in
which you lay out texture coordinates. Not clear enough?
Okay, think back to when we were applying texture maps to
our objects through the Material Editor. Those texture maps
used the texture coordinates to display the image on the 3D
object. It's best if I explain with a picture.
