Subject: Color Mockup to Full Texture Maps
Date: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 4:41 PM

Thanks a ton to everyone who helped with my unwrap+ and midpoint snap 
questions.

Now that I've _finally_ come to grips with unwrap, unwrap+, and 
Multi-sub-object UVW mapping I've got another pretty specific question -- 
that maybe a couple of you have had experience with before.

I was curious if there's a way I could planar-map a texture onto a 
character, then do something to convert this texture to some other form, for 
example a series of cylinders (1 for each limb).  Then edit the resulting 
bitmaps in a paint program in order to get rid of the stretching you get 
from planar-mapping.

I'll probably use other mapping methods for this and future characters, but 
the above method seems like a good time saver that could quickly take you 
from color-mock-up to full unstretched textures.

Thanks!
Jay
