Thanks, guys. I've made some more progress. I skipped over the hands for now, I'm dreading them. What's the best way to go about UVing them. I was thinking doing planer and then separating the front from the back. I'll probably use a temp. Endomorph to position the hands for the best projection.

Heya Sandman, I am curious as to what made you redo the UVs? I see by the result it was time well spent, but I guess my noobie self wonders "What rang the alarm?"

For hands, planar seems to make perfect sense. That's pretty much how I attack them with pencil and paper. The construction is very planar. Curves (roundness) and the subtleties of the hand are just secondary and tertiary shapes and shading.

My original thought was to make use of symmetry to save me work. But then I thought of something cool to use for the chest texture, but i needed to texture asymmetrically. As it turns out my workflow went mush more smoothly than I antisipated, so I redid the head in the same way. You'll see what I mean when I start painting the texture. soon... i definately want the UV's done by friday.
I have started on the hands... not mush to now but planer is definately the easiest way.

Thanks, Well I finally started painting. I figured out how to export the UV. Then it took me a little while longer to figure out that LW exported it as the wrong color format. :headbang: After that I was able to do my first test of placement. the color is only for clarity.
