MODO 401 and 501-Dinosaur UV Mapping

In this Video Tutorial Modo Instructor Adam Gibson demonstrates the task of UV Mapping a Tyrannosaurus Dinosaur using Modo's Powerful UV Unwrapping Tools. Although Modo's UV Tools are extremely powerful there are still some tips and tricks to getting a great UV Map for your 3D Objects. Organic Objects like creatures and human style characters can create more challenges during UV Mapping so in this video we show how to get around those obstacles.

Topics Covered: How to Prepare your Mesh/Break Down your Model, How to Avoid Over-Lapping UV's, How to Use the UV "Unwrap Tool", and Problem Solving.
