Hi, all --

Well, here's some more progress on my train project. It really is amazing how hanging a few photo textures on an object really makes it feel much more real.

Now, I've figured out some of the UV Editor, obviously enough, I guess, but there are things I just can't wrap my brain around. When I tried to map to one of my door objects in the train, the mapper gave me a very discontinuous map; polygons that are connected on the model (like, say, the entire front of the model) are not connected in the UV map. The manual is a bit confusing to me, here, so I was wondering if there is a tutorial on using the UV mapping tools available anywhere.... Anyone know of one?

Thanks!
