cobaltdream: Just two more things...

First, I think that your comparison with V4 isn't quite accurate. V4 has seams all over the place and was obviously mapped according to the 'simple is best' approach. I don't know if they didn't put any thinking in it or if they thought they'd support the fast and dirty approach of texturing by just smashing a flat texture on the front and back of every piece. Anyway, I'm trying hard here to find good positions for the seams, and it's a learning process. If Antonia has a few extra seams, that doesn't mean she'll necessarily share the fate of V4.

I don't have the experience, so I need to listen to people's criticism. I just don't respond well to "you're doing it wrong" or "you should do it the way our forefather have done for centuries". Because I'd rather try new things than sticking with the old. If it doesn't work out and in the end the old ways prove to be best, I'll give in. But not without a fight. :biggrin: If I get the thumbs down from a couple of experienced texture makers after they had a look at my UVs and actually tried to use them, I'll admit defeat.

Second, you're quite right. I am doing this mostly for myself. If I weren't, I'd have to charge. Also, you can't satisfy everyone. But that doesn't mean I won't listen or will not try to help make Antonia user-friendly. Basically, I'm trying to get to the point where I can let her out in the wild as soon as possible, so that people can start to create content for her or fix my mistakes if they feel so inclined.
