Margin Space VS Padding Explained | UV Mapping Fundamentals
Hello everyone, I felt that the previous UV mapping videos did not explain a lot about margins and padding when it comes to UV mapping. These are very important aspects for when it comes to UV mapping so that your textures will not suffer from bleeding effects and artifacts. So, in this video I explain all about margins & how their importance & also explain padding & why it's very important for uv mapping. I'm experimenting with the content and would like to see if you enjoy this sort of content where I sit down and explain to you in depth, I have other content planned and in that I will have a similar fashion that you might like. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments.
