Datsun 240z 3D model available for download here: https://www.artstation.com/a/13400100

After watching this tutorial, you will learn the key steps to uv map the majority of your models, look at the 3D cut and sew tool, learn how to use free scripts to transfer UV attributes to multiple objects, discuss UV packing, texel density, how to solve distortion, and much more.
