UV help needed -> technique
polycounter lvl 5
I have experienced many problems with unwrapping uv's in 3ds Max. Last time it costed me quite a lot of time and frustration. The problem I am having is that i don't know which uv's are actually good, for texturing in Photoshop. I did quite a bit research on this, and i find that it can be done in many ways and usually it is recommended that you produce planar projections of uv's. But i see this as a problem when I need to unwrap characters and any other organic form that is supposed to be textured and later animated.
Can someone give any advice on how can I make uv's for characters so I don't need to worry about redoing all of the texturing and baking steps?
I did unwrap uv's manually since I didn't need to do any organic stuff, but then when I had to do it I used pelt mapping for characters which turned out not too give optimal result and has costed me overall quality of the textures.

Also, Pelt can only work with sufficient seams. If there's an area that refuses to relax properly, it probably needs another split to help ease the tension there.
