I wrote a really bad UVMapping tut for Wings once...it's no longer in Tut's...
but Pauljs is the modeller I'd like to be...so go with that.

I found something called matmatic (I think) that was free...mebbe search for that.

That being said, many people use a program like Photoshop (definitely not free), but theGimp is..
Maybe even Project Dogwaffle...also free.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
