Price tag on 3ds Max is big! They just came out with 3dsmax 4. http://www2.discreet.com/products/d_products.html?prod=3dsmax There is a program out there called Map Magic by Roy Riggs. The web page included with the prog doesn't work anymore. I haven't used it much myself. I use UVmapper. I also believe there is a plugin for 3dsmax 3.1 to UVmap and output an image file as a template. I think. -kimmarcus
