No Bullet I dont use smooth on some thing like this, unwrap is good some times you can use it on a whole shell borders not pined but most of the time you have to unwrap part of a shell at a time, if you know how you want your borders spread you can move them then do a unwrap with borders pined, to bake out a colour map try rendering, lighting/shading, batch bake (mental ray) I do confess to not doing much of this as I do all my textures in photoshop and mudbox...........dave
