I understand that when going from 3D to 2D you will produce a distortion
many times but other times the unwrapping is very predictable as in the
cylinder example I used. It is these times that the unwrapping seems very
simple yet the unwrapped 2D image is very distorted. This seems counter
productive.

Because putting a 3D shape into 2 dimensions ALWAYS produces distortions
in
the 2D shape. Does it map back onto the 3D shape properly?

Subject: [Carrara] UV Mapping question
Why is it that when I am using the UV mapper it appears to distort the
Shapes I am to export for mapping. For instances say I'm working with a
long Cylinder and wish to export it for mapping. When I unwrap it to
export
to photoshop the shapes are not proportional to the object they come from.
Where I would expect a long square for the side of the cylinder I get a
squat one. This is just a made up example but it relays the problem. The
Flat shapes to map are often very distorted from there model proportions.
What gives here?
