I use the same method as you do Aldo, and PSP auto flattens for me - apparently as a part of the properties of the bmp format. I'd always assumed every proggy would do that...

Meh. Anyway, Kaperl, what program are you planning to use?

[kasperl]

dunno, i've got the following somewhat working:

TS5.1
3ds Max, this one will need some "convincing" to work.
Lightwave, same as Max.
LithUnwrap, it works, but i can't work with it.
PSP7, i think this one is actually legal, i think. i can also use it pretty well.
PS7, well, it works, but i can't work with it
3d Exploration, i like this one, a lot.

and some other stuff, anything you guys tell me is usefull.

uhm, do you have to uvmap everything you texture?

Yes, unless:

a) You know someone else who will do it for you.
b) You don't mind spending time producing lovely textures which when applied to your ship look like vomit.

i don't get some parts of that tutorial, since it seems to start with a unwrapped ship to begin with.

It's a UV mapping tutorial. I can't texture for ****. I know. My mate Dave offered me really good **** if I could do it. Alas I have all the artistic talent of a colour blind hedgehog, in a bag.

Why would you want to texture for ****?  Try texturing for toffees or something.

Something I wrote some time ago. Could be usefull. It's for MAX. erm... check the readme file.
