Week 7

It was in week 7 that I started to unwrap my model. This process was fairly easy to do however just one that one quite time consuming. I started off by un-wrapping the vehicle first.

The first process was to add a checkered texture; this was so that I could see parts of the model where the texture would be stretched and allow me to fix this issue. Once I had done this I then began to un-wrap the model from the side view first. I decided the best way to un-wrap the model would be in panels similar to how the model was created.

I projected these planar projections in 3 panels across the side, once this had be done I then stitched the separate projections using the sew, unfold and stitch tools. The next process was to un-wrap the back of the car.

In the similar manner as before I create a planar projection and unfolded the UV’s out so they was in the correct position. I only wanted to UV half the model, as I could use mirror geometry and create a mirrored model of y vehicle. With this in mind I started to UV the top, and bottom parts of the car.

After the car had been un-wrapped I began to do the same for the accessories on the car. This included the likes of mirrors, nudge bar and wheels. I could now un-wrap the diorama. These parts were slightly more complicated and for that reason I had to use other projection methods. For example cylindrical and camera based projections.
