Maybe..I dont know...honestly I had never mapped under the subdiv so I dont know how layout UVs works! I am very used to poly technique of modeling and texturing, I had never been in situation to map in subdiv cuz I find it easier to do that in polys. I was using Max till month ago so I am pritty much new to SubDivs! It's a nice piece of toolary to give a smooth details to your model... So, you say that I texture it in polys than convert it to subDiv and do every detail from beginning, or use UVs layout in SubDiv? How does UVs layout work?
