During this week, we explore how to work with Items and how to effectively use the Item List when constructing complex scenes. By the end of our exploration, you’ll have a stronger understanding of how Modo interprets Items and their role in the larger 3D modeling production pipeline.

This week, we will explore the fundamental practices and procedures of creating production quality UV maps. UV maps allow us to place custom textures on specific polygons on our models. If done correctly, UV maps will ease the strain on the rest of the texturing stage and allow us to create custom texture maps for our models.
