Charlie Bear Brown 05

Unwrapping is for the boids! Really man, couldn't there be an easier way? Someone please help me here. I gotta find that one tool that unwraps a mesh for you with one click based on the seams you draw. Does that exist?

After spending some late nights and the weekend, this guy is finally unwrapped in a decent manner. I started over with the UVW modifier so many times, then I read about saving layouts. WOW.

Saving UV layout files helped me so much. I was able to texture bits and pieces at a time, save a UV file, then later I would load it, collapse the stack and do it over again. I know I sound crazy to most of you, but take my word; unwrapping is madness best taken with a shot of Patron.

Here you can see Charlie with his checker pattern on. Some stretching is occurring around his neck and on the top of his head; F@CK it!
