These new UV tools are really working out great, and thats the two from select menu. (The UV live thing had to go - kept crashing) Thiough I'm a bit confused as, did these not come as a single unit? They really are saving tons of time for me, esprcially with the higher poly stuff.I'll have to try that UV method. I used to build plastic model kits and paint and 'weather' them by hand, so I have some knowledge about shading techniques, but it's quite different to pull it off in a digital format.
I think those 3 UV tools were made by the same guy, the 'Live' one just saves pinned vertices in memory which causes crashes sometimes. I noticed Keynote's maker has an LSMC (Lithuanian State Merchant Corps?) unwrapper plugin on his site. It might be worth trying.
