Hello All,

 

Is there any step-by-step unfolding and mapping tutorial  (preferably video, in English) that anyone can recommend for a complete novice?

 

I created my first garment (the jacket), but the textures are terrible because I can't figure out how to map.

 

Thanks to all,

 

Peter

What application are you wanting to use to do it?

 Excuse me, I should have specified, in Hexagon.

Some time ago I did a description of a workflow how to UV map a simple mesh in Hexagon, 
Go to Rendo and search for 'Hexagon - The Tower - UV' in the freebie section.
This is not the only workflow I am using for UV mapping 3d meshes, If it is wanted maybe I can describe some alternative workflows for UV mapping and texturing with Hexagon and DS.

But still Hexagon is sometimes quite cumbersome to use in UV mapping. Once there was a freeware program 'UVmapper' which is quite useful, but I not sure that is still around. An alternative is Blender with its auto UV mapping.

I have a tutorial WIP which does include some basic uvmapping and unfolding.
