How do you fix those sides that are distorted and twisted in LithUnwrap?  I can't seem to fix it to where I came do any textures for them.

i.e. right-click and then UV-map in TS.

(I presume you're using TS and not Max or LW, otherwise why use Lith atall?)

Don't use Lithium. someone once told me to use it and I had to drive a stake through his heart to show him the dimensions of his error.

Truespaces UV-mapping function is actually very nice(escept those rotation symbols going walkabout from time to time), you can do everything with it.

I've never been able to get TrueCraps uv mapping to work very well.  Specially since I all have now is 3.2.

I dunno about 3.3, but 5.0 is lovely. It usually takes me 20 minutes to unwrap a complex model (1000-2000 polies).

lith is superior, TS's uv tools are ok if you just have some small error to fix.

I have been trying to learn to UV map lately. I find it very difficult. I cant decide whether to use lith, ts or MAX. It just takes time to learn, doesnt it? Or am I missing something...

it should take you about a week of playing to learn how to use lith

may I suggest excellent freeware

www.wings3d.com

It has an autoUV feature that is fantastic... (I use it for UVing and it rocks!)

An excelent babystep by babystep tutorial for it is in the following address...

http://www.pagodaproductions.com/tiki/tiki-page.php?pageName=Wings3D+UV+Mapping

(will take you a good while to load and you WILL need to refresh your browser 5-7 times, and YOU SAVE IT, once it is done, but hell is it worth it... :D  )

Keep going...
If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.
