Thanx loads for all your info, gals and guys. It seems that a lot of people other than me are fighting the good fight against unsatisfactory UV's. I gather there's basically three solutions: o Use UVmapper, a bit of ingenuity and a lot of hard work o Empty your bank account and buy BodyPaint (and accept the fact that no non-BP user can use the UV templates) o Empty your bank and buy Deep Paint + Tex weps - and you'll need some ingenuity to use the results. On balance, I think I'll go for BodyPaint. Now I'll just have to spend some time filling up my bank account before emtpying it. Thanx, all. Cheers, thip
