   I didnt understand how important UVing was until I got on a team that develope a game that comes on Steam. UVing is the most important task in modeling and texturing.

   I use Maya 2014 to unwrap. The only plugin I use, for UV mapping, is Nightshade's UV Editor. Its has some amazing tools that I couldn't live without. Once you get a good workflow down, there's nothing wrong with Maya's UV tools..
