Re: Unwrapping a pistol, ugh
its all about defining seams and after that just relax the whole selection. So for starters select everything and hit the "Quick planar map" which will project the UV's all together just like in the 3d space. Next loop select some edges you want to cut or want to define as seams in your UV and break them there (Tools >… -
Re: Unwrapping a pistol, ugh
yeah I only installed tex tools for the align by edge tool. Glad to here roadkill is integrated. I'll still run a relax on some islands after roadkilling them. Sounds redundant I know but I've found situations where it gets me better results then just one or the other. Usually situations where relax goes into a tornado and… -
