Thanks for the info, you have me excited to use filterforge now. Great thing about 3d painting is not having to worry as much about seams. Ditto with baking textures. Still, in all, a good uv map is something to strive for, an art. Your mapping is very pleasing to look at... Beyond its intended function... as the thing itself. If that makes any sense. :) As far as upgrading my hardware, I should have enough saved by summer. I want to get a decent hp workstation. I've got enough projects achievable with my set up now to keep me busy. I am itching for some of the new toys though.
