UVMap - I never really learned what this was, can you sum it up simply?

UVMapping- the process of texturing a model using maps that can be edited in a paint program to add extra detail. Commonly used on fighters and smaller craft to add immense detail. A map is generally assigned to each of the views (ie. top, side, back, fron ect...), but sometimes a map can include all the sides of a fighter, thus making it a multi-map.

If you're using MAX there's a good tutorial on the "Lerning MAX" section about it.

Maybe the links I posted in this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,5924.0.html) can help you too.

I'm gonna have to try these out myself.:)

EDIT: ...or I can just Quote myself :o

This (or one of these tutorials) is what I learnt mapping with MAX from, although I still need practice :).
