How can I texture a ship well?

In TS3.2, I used as many UV projections as I could, but sometimes a specific side of the ship has a quite strange texturing. I would like to make ALL sides of my ship visible. With LithUnWrap(or whatever it's name is) I can place only one texture, and that side of the ship has the same looking.

Any suggestions?

So I would need LithUnwrap. But I can use only one texture using that thing. But I would like to give mz model at least 5 textures, so it can look fine.

Textures are called materials. Right click materials. Choose add.

Five textures would be an overkill on your model, if you're texturing a strike craft.  And I wouldn't use LithUnwrap to texture capital vessels; I'd use LithUnwrap in conjunction with trueSpace.

It looks like that you're just beginning your adventures in texturing, so I'm going to suggest that you use premade textures for your models.

well 5 maps for a fighter is still ok.. i've used even more sometimes (i don't like to see my artwork blurry:p)

I don't have the function 'add'. Only Open, Save and Checker. My version is 1.2.

Don't forget Blender!

I experimenting with making a high-poly model then rendering it then applying the renders to a low-poly version of that same model.
