Gddamn I always thought UV stood for "Ultraviolet" and never understood WHY a texture map was called that way
@nonumbersinthishandle
I have been doing 3D design for a while now and I never really questioned why it was UV... just kinda accepted it 😆
@zoade5178
Great video! I like to think about UV maps like wrappers from candies (like the chocolate santa)
@bogidi932
Dude your videos make me feel like 3D is a thing that a mortal could comprehend
@Chomsday
I think a great way to visualize how UVs wrap around an object is to look at paper models.
@LeoLivewire
Your explanation made this so much easier to understand thank you very much
@Mj-ez7vy
In computer graphics, W is used to denote homogeneous coordinates, which is essentially an extra dimension needed for certain transformations of objects. E.g. a translation matrix for a 3D object is 4x4, and uses 4D coordinates (X/Y/Z/W), with "W" usually equaling 1 for objects and zero for normals, although that can vary depending on what transformations have already been performed. I had thought that was the reason "W" was reserved, but I honestly have no idea beyond that assumption lol
@JonFawkes
I always thought UV was an acronym but never know what it was an acronym for
@FissionMetroid101
W isn't always reserved for rotational coordinates! UVW exists for 3D textures
@KitsuneFaroe
UV basically are texture coordinates, different from spatial coordinates. They are not exclusive to 3D, but 3D commonly tinkers with them more often so is more mentioned in that topic.
@DaesDroolMoes
These nighmare skin textures... Imagine yourself unskinned on flat surface
@nukedukem9736
I have a degree in this kind of shit so I love seeing people explain it in all sorts of ways
@LaptopGamingAndAnimating
ok what is up with that complex model near the end
@fabulog7010
now try doing one of these 60 second shorts explaining quaternions lol
@nyxa8734
it's wrong to say W isn't used for UV's. Spatial coordinates do default to XYZ usually, but UVs can have 3D coordinates too, for 3D textures; in which case the coordinates are UVW. XYZ, UVW. It's also wrong to say we /need/ a W coordinate for rotations; that's only when using Quaternions, not Rotors or Rotators. those just happen in 3 dimensions.
@nonaG123
although I can't believe that's why they're called UVs I also can't fault the logic... lol
@Rose-rx7ly
It took me MONTHS to figure this out on my own .... To think how much time 60 seconds could of have saved me xD
@thediamondking1999
The best addition, CUUUUUBES
@CakeandCosplay
Huh 4 years of game design at uni and noone told us this 😅
