#5 FIXES & UNWRAP TESTING

FIXING NGONS

I have begun the process of fixing the NGONS and making changes to my geo flow to help with my unwrap process.

FIXING GEO and UNWRPAING

As I began unwrapping I realized there were a lot of issues with some parts of the titan's leg. Before moving forward to unwrapping the rest of the leg I had to take a step back and re-do some parts of the model.

An issue I did not anticipate was stretching after applying SUBDIVS. In a previous assignment, we were tasked to merge two objects, unwrap it and have clean geo so when it is subdived there is no stretching. However, mine did have stretching issues.

At first, I hadn't noticed any stretching issues in the unwraps I had done so far, but when I did apply smooth, I noticed slight stretching. So I spent the rest of the week practicing and researching how I can avoid having issues like these and found a few ways I could fix these issues which would mean going back and fixing up the geo again. I was still having issues while unwrapping and in 3DS MAX, so I decided to give MAYA a chance and learned how to unwrap in MAYA which has made the unwrapping process faster and helped me manage any stretching issues easier.
