Once you have those in place, U -> “Unwrap” again and you’ll start seeing some much-nicer results. Now you can mark some seams on the sides (select an edge, Ctrl+E, “Mark Seam”) to give the unwrapper some hints about how you want it working – usually you try to put seams where they won’t be seen.

You’ll notice a slightly nicer result, though still with a lot of warping, but something intelligible.

Now whenever you unwrap, those particular areas will not change, and the other areas will try to play nicely with them, as it were. This video teaches how to model and animate text in Blender to create a wood chipping effect. With only the top faces/verts selected, in your image editor press the P key to “pin” the top faces. 3D text is an essential part of learning motion graphics. Otherwise you have to account for them as well. Along with all the staple design functionalities, the Blender 3D package also supports API, which allows programmers to use the Blender 3D tool just as well as designers. It is available as a free download for all the major PC operating systems that are macOS, Windows, and Linux. Note that this works better if the bottom faces are simply deleted (if you don’t need them). Blender 3D is a very versatile open-source design tool. However, you cannot simply choose any method at a time as each has its own specific use. We believe in the free sharing of resources, respecting the work of others artists, citing the articles that are published. There are a number of ways in which you can add vertices in Blender. 3DArt is a daily tutorial and resource for 3D Artists, Motion Designers, VFX Artists, and people who Love the CG & NFT World. Our goal will be to have the text appear as two-dimensional printed text as opposed to 3D text. The vertex has 3 coordinates, which represent a value for the X-, Y- and Z-axes. In this short tutorial, well take a look at how you can use Blender to create text outline effects. Go into a side view of your text and select the TOP part of your letters only (not the sides). In 3D modeling, a vertex refers to a single space in a 3D space. In your Image Editor, while in Edit Mode with all the faces selected, you’ll see your letters. Orient your view so you’re facing your text head on, press U and select Project From View. Thanks, but what do you mean by “pin glyph face uv’s and unwrap”?
