Re: Resize UV Map Texture Box?
Hey Eric hopefully this will help. Here is a image of the Illustrator paths that they use to cut the graphics. Take for example the very front of the hood, front center.

Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
the workflow of making a "manual" lightmap-uv is fine. the "all code" solution prof means, basically unwraps geometry for you and tries to create huge uv charts for the lightmap.

Re: Creature - modelling problems
First: Greetings, this is my first post.
