Very interesting topic, I'm just trying my UV Unwrapping
with 3D Coat. Greeting rosuckmedia:)

Thank you for the tutorial, that has cleared up a lot of confusion for me as to how they are created.  It never made sense to me before.

I'd look at one UV map and it seems to make sense, then another for a similar object and it would be totally different.  It confused me.

The chocolate wrapper example is both complementary and an eye opener, in showing me a real world example in actual 3D (as opposed to virtual 3D) and gives me an excuse to buy some chocolate.
The tutorial thus explains how to create the chocolate wrapper.

If someone think a UV Map is a complicated thing , the sweet analogy shows also it isn't.

I think the image of the wrapper is complementary. It shows the idea.

To create a wrapper like that is another story and requires a more extensive explanation.

I have shared that image on many sites and threads on the subject of UV unwrapping
as thought it was cute and illustrated the concept well.
I must admit I have never gotten a reaction like this before :w00t:
I am Australian though, perhaps we think a bit differently :crying:

OK, silly me...….. I especially apologize to you Vidi.
It was what you wrote that got me thinking I was being laughed at for writing so much.
If you had added a little something like this new post in the other one I would have understood what you were saying.

All of what has happened here from what you wrote and how I felt about it is definitely not that big a deal, however I will add this.
In real life it is the sound of the voices of the person making a statement that helps us understand what they are saying.
But in texture only ...…. there is no voice sounds to help all people understand.
That's a big reason why I write so much text when I write text, I try to make it as obvious as possible what I am saying especially If I am being funny.

I see it also a sweet additional to the value Information in this tread

Sorry Wendy, I was just trying to state why I did what I did so other people reading these would know.
I am getting old in my head most of all and find some short things written hard to understand what is meant
