can you share your blend file? i'm confused. are you saying you've tried unwrapping it and nothing "happens"? because if nothing visually happens that's because you have to open up the uv/image editor. or are you saying once you unwrap it nothing actually happens to the uv or mesh? if that's the case you can reset the unwrap and then reunwrap it. the reset button is on the same

the uv/image editor isn't showing your unwrapped piece. it's showing a rendered image. you can fix this just by clicking the X  |

Thank you. This has now shown up things I think are problems. I deleted doubles and checked for internal faces and such-like, but I see on the UV map a lot of unexpected random sized faces. This is probably beyond the scope of this thread. Where do I ask about this? Many thanks and have a good weekend.

that's just how it unwrapped itself according to the way you unwrapped it or marked the seams. trial and error will help you figure out what is what on your uv map because we all know blender is not the best program for unwrapping lol.

Ok well, thanks. I am very grateful. You pointed something out that I didn't see for 6 hours.

If you're having issues that you think are beyond the scope of the tutorial, please feel welcome to post about it in the Creator Help section. Pictures of the issue and a .blend help.  |

Thank you orangemittens, the worst issue now is that after many many hours of not being able to do the UV-unwrap (I don't like to play or create when tired - and I wasn't when I started), I no longer understand what's going on. The entire program and every feature today has thrown back unexpected results, or just none. If I didn't have saves, I'd have destroyed a week's worth of work. It's not that I haven't read tutorials because I have. I really haven't enjoyed today, that's an understatement. I don't know where to start, so I'll save it for another day. Thanks

Hi, I've completed the tutorial and moved on to a more complex project, but I have some problems with the texture. Can the texture size be higher than 512x512?

you can multiply the texture.
it can be 512,512|1024,1024|2048,2048 and so forth

HI! So I get pretty far in the tutorial, everything looks the same as yours, I tried tutorial 1 like 7 times until I got it PERFECT but when I select all the edges and go to mark seam, my mesh only shows the edges being selected in orange with a red underline. The actual face (image 52) remains gray, it is not orange like yours. Once I go to the UV map, I see two diagonal triangles, not squares. Please help.

Hi orangemittens , I'm on step 104, but when I try to export my UV layout, blender crashes. I'm not sure if it is something I screwed up or a problem with blender/my computer. Could you take a look at my file to see if I made a mistake? Apologies if this was the wrong place to post. Thank you! file |

Ok, so I've figured out a solution. I have downloaded both blender 2.78 (to work with Sims 4 Studio) as well as the latest version, 2.79. The new version exported the UV layout without any issues. I may post this somewhere else to highlight this issue. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm running on a MacBook has anything to do with it.
