Laying Out UVs
It's time to texture paint our treasure chest! Goodbye, boring color - hello, life-like textures. We will also influence material properties to make our metal reflect light and make the wood appear dull.
We will keep it simple by painting one global color map.
But wait...what's a map? And what are textures? Don't worry, we will go over all the terminology together, step by step.

Correct unwrapping
I just wanted to know, is that correct to unwrap such objects in a manner I did it? I put a single seam across the object to split it to two almost symmetrical sides.

Difference between angle vs area UV's
When choosing stretching display types there is angle and area. Is there a difference between these two display types? If so, does the UV in both of these displays have to colored blue as well?

Why is my UV always Orange?
Hallo,
I unwrapped almost all objects. But when I get to the bolts I always the UV map always says that it's stretched. Has anyone an idea why that is? (I'm using Blender 2.81c)

The mesh seems to think that there is a seam in places its not. not sure how to fix.

Select linked Object Data isn't working.
My linked objects aren't being selected for some reason my Meshe's have the "fake user" shield where there should be a number next to show how many objects are linked to the object data. Is there a way to fix this?

I think I have a stray vertex?
It shows up as a small orange point along the x-axis, and as a stray line in the UV layout. However, I can't seem to figure out how to select and remove it.

Not a question just a heads up!
I had some issues with only a few UV's displaying in the UV editor so I looked around and turns out I needed to select the sync button in the top left in order to have all my UV's display in the Editor. Im not sure why? or how the editor became un-synced, but this seemed to fix the issue.

UV test is not displaying properly.
Hi Kent, so for the UV test image. You get the image shown at 25:50, when I try to do that I get the following.
What is happening?
Actually never mind about the first question, I just had to go to the materials tab and select the treasure_chest material.
How did you apply the same material to all the objects without going to each individual object and editing the material?
