I've been uv mapping for 3 years now and I've never yet managed to get my head round this business of map size. Sometimes UVM seems to pick the weirdest template sizes. I've just finished the set of curtains in this pic. It's a complete figure, more or less square in shape and the template size is 1024 x 80. WTF is that about? The tex on the curtains is 1024 x 1024, so the template size is obviously nonsense. When steve was taking suggestions for the uvm pro upgrade, I asked him to include some form of map ratio (something like photoshop's image size dialog) so we can choose a new map size without reaching for a calculator. If anyone is actually capable of explaining template sizes, I'm all ears. mac
