Ahh cheers Jim,

I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished too

I'm having a few issues with UV's at the moment. Nothing that would really be noticable in the final render but I would really like to know how I could fix the problem.



As you can see, before smoothing the UV's are fine, no spilling. After smoothing the top wing map spills over onto the bottom, this happens in several places. I can understand that its adding faces by subdividing but adding the faces to the wrong map. Turning off UV smoothing doesn't help nor does any other of the options in smooth.

I take it the only option to fix this would be to cut the faces from the top UV map and join them too the bottom... alot of work as it happens in lots of different places. If anyone knows an easier way let me know!

Cheers
