Are you a 3D artist, are you looking for some talent or just want to collaborate or know who your fellow ModDB artists are. Doesn't matter what application you use or how you do it... if you're a modeller, animator, skinner or looking at getting started with 3D... Then this is the group for you.
This is a quick tutorial I wipped out, as the most common question people ask me about using 3D MAX is exactly how to UV map. This is a great skill for mods, and just in general.
This tutorial is not particularly something amazing, just quickly shows the different styles as how to UV map a model for texturing. If I used a more complex model it would have been much easier to understand the different ways to map, and exactly how to combine the different techniques. Throughout the tutorial I used Autodesk - 3D Max 2009. The file attached can be only opened in this version of MAX or higher.
Anyway hope this helps some people out ;)

Thanks man, it is something hard to find in the internet.
thanks for the comments guys, I am glad that you are actually benefiting from the tutorial, I know I really struggled with this when I started 3D Max.
Thanks a lot foe the tutorial, I actually just got 3ds max 2009 yesterday.
