# Blender UV Texturing
This skill fills the gap between “assign a material” and “the supplied texture pack actually fits the model.” It is mandatory for template/atlas-driven assets.
## Decision tree
```
What does the texture represent?
├── Whole object from front/reference → Project-from-View style UVs from the validation camera
├── Atlas with separate parts → crop/map each part to its own UV island/rectangle
├── Repeating material → generated/object coords or tiled UVs
├── Face/expression decal → alpha material plane or projected UV island; no black background
├── Roughness/bump/normal map → Non-Color data, correct node type
└── Lightmap → separate UV/lightmap channel or optional multiply helper; not emission
```
## Non-negotiable rules
1. Image textures need a material node setup to render/export; viewport UV display alone is not enough.
2. Basecolor/albedo = sRGB. Roughness, metallic, bump, normal, AO/lightmap = Non-Color.
3. Atlas textures must be mapped by region. Never apply a full atlas to every mesh part.
4. Alpha decals must use alpha-connected material settings (`BLEND`, `Alpha Hashed`, or `Alpha Clip`) and a keyed/correct PNG. Do not leave black planes.
5. For GLB, keep to exporter-recognized nodes where possible: Principled BSDF with Image Texture inputs, UVs, normals, tangents.
6. Validate with a checker texture or overlay render before final material tuning.
