What does that mean? I may just have to go back to uv cow.

Post by parva // Nov 7, 2007, 7:41am parva Total Posts: 822 have you marked a seam (UV slice) before you hit the unwrapper? Post by rjeff // Nov 7, 2007, 7:42am rjeff Total Posts: 1260 here ya go. Post by Jack Edwards // Nov 7, 2007, 8:16am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Oh. Sorry Jeff, it's been a long time since I used model-side UV tools. Model side UVE has serious precission issues though so it's much better to do your UV work in a 3rd party tool. UV Cow is good, but make sure you turn the bridge off or it will go really slow. Also good are dedicated UV apps like: Ultimate Unwrap 3D, UV Unwrapper, and Headus.

I end up with this:- Post by JimB // Nov 7, 2007, 8:47am JimB Total Posts: 341 I have just noticed that you can create your cube then click on the UV mapping editor and it unwrapps the cube nicely. I normally use UUnwrapp;) Post by rjeff // Nov 7, 2007, 10:53am rjeff Total Posts: 1260 I may look into getting ultimate unwrap. Headus is way to much. I will first get used to uv cow again. I like the fact you can color your mesh different colors to you know where it all it when you flatten it.
