There are some phenomenal tools for this type of stuff these days. A lot of it is easy get semi automated once you're familiar with Blender's specific brand of weird

DreamUV is a great example

Does DreamUV only work with hard surface or are organic models cash money too?

I recently took a deep dive into DreamUV and ZenUV. Here's everything I found:

the DreamUV plugin adds lot of really nice UV features (doesn't fix the issues above tho)

Just super stoked about the AssetForge to DreamUV workflow, using trimsheets I spin up in MaterialMaker. This is really a fun way to work, and really suits my preferences. I think it compliments the graphical era I like to aim for #gamedev

Spun up a few more DreamUV atlases, and tested them out on some different geometry. I'm very happy with how easy it is to work with, and for a lot of objects it could quickly become my new workflow.

Check out UV Packmaster, DreamUV, and Zen UV (all addons for Blender). Life gets a lot more enjoyable when you tamper and figure out where you want the process more automated and where you like to fidget with precision by hand

DreamUV + Ucupaint for quick game-ready atlas-based texturing in Blender

amazing things are happening rn

#blender #blender3d #dreamuv #ucupaint

github.com/kroamian/Ble... basically using an atlas of rectangles (and other shapes sometimes) to texture an object instead of painting every texel by hand. the main benefit is highlighting the edges of faces. i think trimsheets specifically refer to atlases that tile on one axis

I need to praise @quaternius.bsky.social assets. His geometry makes it so easy to work fast! My materials us UV1 for PBRs (made in @rodzlabs.bsky.social's Material Maker) and use UV2 for details/edgewear (using DreamUV atlases). #GodotEngine #Blender #GameDev

some placeholder work, animation retargeting, and test blender work as i learn the wonders of ucupaint and atlas textures through dreamUV

Lowpoly, low res sandbags. Trying out DreamUV for the first time and i'm loving it. #GameDev #Blender #LowPoly

Some texture experiment ^^
