Re: UV mapping? 2005-04-22 - By ccoles_avengers

Hi Simon,
I am actually venturing into UV mapping myself but frankly, I've done
some Google searches recently and it seems that the links that I was
first introduced to UV mapping are no longer active. :(.
But here are some links that I did find that hopefully will help you
become familiar with the basic technique(s):
1) <http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/tuts/uvmaps/>
2) <http://www.uvmapper.com/>
3) <http://www.unwrap3d.com/>

Well, hope these help you at least to get oriented to the conept of UV
mapping. As far as doing UV mapping in Carrarra, you can use Carrara
and Photoshop to start out, but for ease of use sake and really good
results, people have been using UV painting apps. such as ZBrush,
BodyPaint, and Deep Paint 3D/ Deep. But just the same, if you know
how to use the tools, Carrara's UV mapper and Photoshop can yield some
really nice results without the high cost. Unfortunately I am just
getting up to speed with Photoshop, so I opted to get my hands on a UV
Paint app. just to save time/effort.
Well, if I do find any of my old UV mapping tutorials I wouldn't mind
sending them to you. Just drop me a note with your e-address so I can
keep it handy if any do surface. And if I find the time, I may be
able to whip out a few JPEGs (or shockwave file) and send them to you
on how to do your rust stains/spots with using Photoshop and Carrara's
UV mapper.
Cheers.
