Projecting UV coordinates

“

- [Instructor] The last major process I want to undergo in materials is to apply a decal onto the surface of the robot arm. I've got an image prepared of a logo and I want to slap that onto this surface here. To do that I'll need to project some UV coordinates. In preparation for that I'm just going to switch back to the Viewport 2.0 renderer in the perspective view, choose renderer, Viewport 2.0. Also, to make it much easier to apply the UVs, or mapping coordinates, I want to orient the surface so that it is orthogonal to one of the view ports. And I'll just want to sort of neutralize the rotation values on these various parts of the hierarchy. I'll select the axis one object, and set its rotate Y value to negative 90 degrees. Going up the hierarchy I want to select the next object which is axis two, set its rotate Z value to 180 degrees, and then I've got axis three which is this object here. I want to set its rotate Z…
