So I wanna show you how I unfold 99 percent of all the objects I ever work on. So this is a vase that we will be texturing later in this course, and I do just wanna take a look at the UVs for it, and you can see over in the UV editor on the right side of the screen that we'd actually started with a cylinder, and it kept those basic shapes. Now, that just doesn't work for an object that ends up becoming this complex.
