If you have multiple islands press L instead of A so it only selects the island you're on

thank you

[@bambaboyzstudio]

Thanks

[@TravisRayLive]

It got things straight, but it didn't solve the stretching. The checkered pattern squares are supposed to be the same width + height, and you can see this one has a ton of stretching in areas where it bends, thus your texture will also look wonky.

[@jasperdrop6474]

thank you so much for this !!

[@Ruan3D]

No problem 🤘🏼

[@daboubet]

wow! my deepest appreciation to this post. You saved my day

[@Ruan3D]

Pleasure!!

[@Nykey97]

You are the saviour of my suffering. Thank you T-T

[@Toebiscuit]

This works beautifully! Too bad there's not an add-on that does this. UV Squares doesnt work in 3.5. =[

[@NOOB-nm3ej]

thanks..

[@junsangjz1242]

Hi! Thnx for the tutorial.
I'm having problems tho.
My uv is fixed as i can see in the uv editor but the checker texture that I've applied on my object is still distorted.
Wgat to do!?

[@uxooo]

i cant fix mine i have a pool banister and its stretched and i just dont get how i can change it

[@mistube]

ime abit confuset here..... if you look at your tube at 5.44 after you have made follow active quads, alot of the tiles on the tube is different size and squeezed especialy in the left corner where it bends. so the texture seems to be streatched still. if this was fabric on furniture for a client. this would not be good. so what are we missing here ?

[@TimeMacrozoom]

Hi thanks, I have a problem
For example, I created a new plane at the center of the world, then duplicated the plane, raised it a little along the z-axis, and then pressed shift+r and repeated 50 times to get 50 planes along the z-axis
Then select all in the uv editor to expand it. The question is, can the 50 planes obtained in the uv map be sorted from high to low according to the original 50 planes?
In the uv editor, the 50 planes are sorted from the left to the end, and the corresponding 50 planes are expanded from high to low. I would like to ask how to get an orderly uv arrangement. ?

[@muhammadasgharali6914]

Hi... I have follow your tutorial but material not fixed.... :( ??

[@Matheuspnr2]

not every hero uses capes, some are just bald

[@A.DHorrorShow]

I have applied it helpfully but am not 100% satisfied plz help

[@vincent3599]

My model is tris and quads is there a way to still do this without converting everything into quads

[@Ruan3D]

Oo that’s a good question, I haven’t tried it yet… Will let you know if I figure it out.

[@manonthedollar]

Is there a way to make Blender do the straightening of the UV quad without manually scaling? That seems like something a computer should do lol

[@moshidoes3d]

There are add-ons for this. I know TexTools, but there may be more

[@7oca7hos7]

tutorial starts at 4:08

[@malikshah392]

But still some squares looks warped. No?

[@PiterTraceurFA]

skip to 5:30

[@elyssa.c90]

Yeah, no. Doesn't work.

[@Ruan3D]

Where are you getting stuck?

[@joegreen427]

Why not?
