Blockbench: UV Mapping

Definition

A UV map or just "UV" is the information in a model, which parts of a texture are shown on which parts of a model. UVs can overlap and hence cause several parts to use the same area on the texture.

Editing a UV Map

You can edit a UV-map trough the UV window in the top left.
Make sure to have a cube selected which you want to UV map and freely resize/move the selection box in the UV window.
You cannot resize the UV selection if you're using Box UV

What do the value fields below the UV window mean?

Per-face UV: The first two values are the x/y position (with 0/0 being in the top left
corner) of the UV map, and the last two values its width and height.
Box UV: The 2 values are the x/y position of the UV map. The size of the UV map depends on the size of the respective cube.

I don't wanna bother with any of that, just let me draw on the model!:

Select all elements (Ctrl+A) and, create a new texture and make sure to select "Template" as type.
This will create a new texture that will keep already existing texture information, but assigns each element a unique section in the texture.

how do i make so each cube will have it own surface on the texture box

[dim moat]

i dont want them to overlap and to have a diffrante place

[tall slate]

did you read the message above

[dim moat]

yes

and it doesnt help

[dim moat]

still same

[tall slate]

show me

[dim moat]

i painted in only 1 spot

and it placed everywhere

[tall slate]

show the full window

[dim moat]

also the resoluton change to 8

idk why

[tall slate]

did you select all elements

[dim moat]

yes

i did crtl +a

[tall slate]

can you record you doing it

[dim moat]

idk ill try

[tall slate]

snipping tool has a record video feature

[tall slate]

can you send the model

[dim moat]

ok

[tall slate]

what blockbench version is this

[dim moat]

newest

i downloaded yesterday

[tall slate]

its working fine for me

[dim moat]

ill try reinstalling

[sinful folio]

make sure to untick this option

else things that use the exact same area on the texture will keep doing so

[tall slate]

i have that ticked and it works fine for me

[brave plover]

Could you check for error messages? Help > Developer > Error Log

[tall slate]

same settings and it works fine

[brave plover]

Yeah it works for me too

[sinful folio]

Oh right. Maybe that option doesn't affect it if no texture is assigned yet 🤔?

[dim moat]

reinstalled works fine now thanks

[tall slate]

did you have any plugins installed before

[dim moat]

no

[tall slate]

anything you changed that may have caused it to break? like anything in the settings

[dim moat]

also do you know how to remove overlaping objects or merge them

[dim moat]

no

[tall slate]

wdym by this

[brave plover]

Yeah correct

[dim moat]

;like this

[tall slate]

you have to find them yourself and delete them

[dim moat]

is it possible for it to be like cubes not rotated
so instead of that is this
⬛ ⬛ ⬛
⬛ ⬛ ⬛
⬛ ⬛ ⬛
and if there is a hole it just cutes so its not full

[tall slate]

why did you put a load of random black square emojis

[dim moat]

to show what i mean

[tall slate]

i dont understand what you are asking

[dim moat]

you see on the picture the cubes are rotated and i want them not to be rotated

but still have that gap
so instead of rotating just cut a hole in the missing area to keep them aligned

[tall slate]

the only way you can "cut" holes is by leaving the texture transparent there

[dim moat]

how would i fix this overlapping

Blockbench: Z Fighting

Explanation: Z-fighting is a term used in situations where two planes overlap each other on the same depth plane. The visual glitching looks like the textures are fighting over which one is getting shown (hence the name).
"Fix": Offset the glitching elements from each other by a small amount. An easy way for example is to type +0.01 or +-0.01 in the position value field (top right) of the relevant axis (That trick also works for other value fields and with other math functions like * and /, just fyi.).

[dim moat]

k

is it possible for a square to be a triangle

so like cut it in half

[tall slate]

no

[dim moat]

do you know how to aligne it

[tall slate]

make it be on the outside not the inside

[dim moat]

then its like this

[tall slate]

now delete the pixel that is overlapping

make it transparent
