BLENDER & SUBSTANCE PAINTER: LUNAR GREENHOUSE LAB (PART 8): TEXTURING FAN UNIT

In this video, I unwrap the FAN UNIT and set up the UV islands on UDIMS or separate UV tiles. This is done to increase the resolution of the parts of the model by putting those parts on their own UV tile. Then I export the model as an FBX and texture it in Substance Painter.

A couple of things to note: there is a problem with the mesh that covers the fans so I will have to go back and fix that. Since doing the video, I have decided that rather than mirror the fan unit, I will simply duplicate it. That means, I can add text in Substance Painter and it won't be backwards due to mirroring. I will add the text and you will see the end result down the road.

At this point, the Fan Unit is textured but still needs to be exported and set up in Blender. The process for this is a bit different due to the UDIM method but it is still quite easy. I will do that down the road when I have a few models textured and want to start viewing them in Blender.

So next up will probably be the Gas Cylinders, same process. Hope to see you here for that.
