If you're a 3D artist, then you know that one of the most important things you can do to improve your work is to learn how to properly mark seams. Seams are the edges of an object that will be visible in your final render, so it's important to make sure they're as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
There are a few different ways to mark seams, but the most popular method is to use the Blender hotkey. To do this, simply select the edge or face you want to mark as a seam, then press Ctrl+E and select "Mark Seam." This will add a pink line to the edge or face, indicating that it is now a seam.
If you're not happy with the results of your seam marking, you can always undo it by pressing Ctrl+Z. Once you're happy with your seam markings, you can move on to the next step: unwrapping.
