Quote - I thought that you were going to make the toe caps starting from existing geometry, including the UV maps already on them. See what I mean? I would have thought you loaded Antonia with her UV map assignments on her vertices, and you cloned part of the foot to start the toe cap. Which would mean that the UV mapping and vertex positions would start out identical.

That would be a valid point if UV mapping programs were able to perform the trivial task of reading an .obj file with existing UVs without messing everything up. The ones at my disposable, except Wings3D, can't do that, and Wings3D is horrible at relaxing UVs.

I'll try this once again with UVLayout. I'll have to scale back manually because UVLayout refuses to accept the existing scaling factor on UVs it hasn't produced. But maybe I can produce something reasonable nonetheless.

At any rate, the current version is in my file locker now.
