Maping this thing!

[okin]

k...so i finally got all the faces in the texture editor, and i just want to ask somebody who knows, how do i flaten everything out?...i did planar projection, but there are still some uvs that are overlaping like the back of the teetch or the back of nosetrills. so now do i flaten everything out completely? so not one uv is behind the other?

select the overlapping uvs and use the relax uvs function, you may have to change some of the options so it will relax the uvs correctly

Go to this link and scroll down to the "furnace" tutorials. It'll take a while to download the tutorial movie, especially if you don't have broadband or faster connection, but its well worth it
