Hey, this is me 'Rob Masters' but I'm on my original account now. I've been away from this for a little while while I've been working on other things, sorry I didn't notice your reply until now Benny! I've tried doing as much as you recommended, but theres only so much I can do without ruining the skinning that I've spent ages sorting out.

I'm now trying to texture the mouse, but I was wondering if I'd be able to just lay out the UVs for half of the model to do the job. I really don't want to delete half the model if I don't have to as this would mess up my skinning that I finally got to a half-decent level. Here is how I've divided up the areas for half of the model:



So can I get away with just laying the UVs for this half and then somehow mirror the texture to the other side of the model as well? At least I've learnt a fair bit from doing this....especially not to attempt skinning until I'm 100% done with modeling and texturing! I had no idea this could cause me any problems.
