PLG's UV mapping plug-ins for lightwave are great.  Here's the link.  http://homepage2.nifty.com/nif-hp/index2_english.htm

BTW  Unicornst is my girl.  Just kiddin'   I highly recommend her.  She's a great texture artist and great to work with.  Be prepared though,  she'll let you know her opinion on the mesh and changes that need to be made to it.  And I feel,  It's her right as the texture artist to do that.
