Miami Corner Store - Part 3/3: UVing Everything (Free Maya/UE4 Course)

Category: Maya, UE4

July 27, 2023

"Miami Corner Store" was going to be a full step-by-step tutorial course to creating a building environment set in Miami using Maya and UE4. Unfortunately it never got finished. Out of 7 modules, I completed 3. I've decided to release the completed videos to you for free.

Let's get to Part 3/3: UVing.

Part 3 of Miami Corner Store is focused on UVing everything to get it ready for texturing. You'll see the UVing process from unwrapping every single modeled geometry to final UV layout.

Note on UV Layout: final UV layout is using single 0-1 space. If I were to layout the UVs now for the same building and all its detail, I would utilize more trim sheets and repeating textures.
