UV Mapping: Everything You NEED to know

UV Mapping is used in 3D modeling and allows users to use two-dimensional texture coordinates that correspond with the surface on a 3D model [Wikpedia: UV mapping]. In this tutorial, MeshMen Studios’ Peter Aversten gives you a thorough rundown on UV Mapping. In the video, he uses Maya but the concept is about the same with any 3D software.
