Unwrapping perfectly symmetrical model

amokk_gw

Quick newbish theoretical question:

Assuming you have a perfect symmetrical model in 3DS Max.

You could:

1.) Export one half of it.
2.) Import it in UVLayout and do the Unwrapping
3.) Save and import it back to Max.
4.) Throw a Symmetry modifier on it (may need to flip it)
5.) Shuahhab

Doesn't really matter where you UV map it but yes, that's exactly what you should do. Map half the model then duplicate and merge.

Yes of course, replace UVLayout with the unwrapping tool of your choice.
