I did this by assigning a checkered texture to the different parts to begin with to find any stretching areas or bad seams. I then would find a texture from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.textures.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">textures.com<\/a> and create a new material using this texture file, and assign it to the part of the model I want it for. The UVs of the object wouldn&#8217;t be usable as they were, so I would split the shape into the main faces and find the edges that connect them to the other main faces and cut them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/firstyearvr.myblog.arts.ac.uk\/files\/2021\/02\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firstyearvr.myblog.arts.ac.uk\/files\/2021\/02\/image-4.png 1024w, https:\/\/firstyearvr.myblog.arts.ac.uk\/files\/2021\/02\/image-4-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/firstyearvr.myblog.arts.ac.uk\/files\/2021\/02\/image-4-768x378.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the UVs shown above, you can see I have split it into 4 main faces comprised of many smaller faces. I would go around cutting and sewing faces to get them arranged into these four groups, and then I would straighten and unfold them to get these shapes. It was then a matter of sizing and placement to get the texture finished.
