Shading, Texturing UV Foundation level 2

  • Shading, Texturing UV


    The challenge here centers on mastering UV unwrapping techniques, including the use of seams and islands, as well as scaling UVs with a checker pattern for accuracy. Alongside UV mapping, this badge introduces understanding the flow of shaders in the shader editor, exploring the difference between textures and shaders, and utilizing texture coordinates and mapping nodes.
