You have to unwrap, yes.
But it is ok with me cause I can export my model to wherever I want with textured maps of all kinds I need. I don’t want to create a model just for the fancy screenshot via f12, I think it is kinda useless and locked within the program. Plus it is a good practice. For the instance: there are 64 textures in Reitwagen and it was really good to play with them.
I wish there were more tightly packed courses that cover the whole process of creating an asset, not just the initial stage.
Something like the Chest one + various complexity. I know that UVs might seem boring and dull but that’s a part of the drill.
