UV Unwrapping: The Importance of Seams | Autodesk Maya & Substance Painter | 3D Texturing Tutorial

UV unwrapping is one of those parts of 3D modeling that can make a huge difference in the final quality of an asset—but where you place your seams matters just as much as the unwrap itself. In this video, I use a Viking helmet as an example to demonstrate the importance of strategic seam placement during the UV unwrapping process. We'll look at how seams affect the way a model unfolds, how they can influence texture placement, and why poorly placed seams can create unnecessary problems later when texturing in Substance Painter.
