3D coat auto mapping

Hassan

hey guys, I'd like to ask a question about uv mapping, what if I used the auto mapping option of 3D coat, is it good or do I have to make manual uv unwrapping ? what is the pros and cons of that option ? 

thanks in advance

I don't know about 3D coats auto unwrapping, but generally automatically unwrapping is pretty bad and rarely works properly unless you work with simple shapes. Not to take away from 3D coat or any other software, it's just very hard to do. I only use auto unwrapping when I want to quickly test bake or something, but when I'm working towards a final model I unwrap manually.

Auto unwrap pros: Very fast, good for testing
cons: It's poorly optimized and should generally never be used for final models.
