Thanks Zaai!

a few more textures to paint/bake and it should be ready for a final render.

I am looking forward to it.

should'nt take to long, the uv meshes aren't 100% perfect though, found some distortions in one, had to manually fix it.

finished the textures last night, but now i've ran into a different issue thats holding me back - poseray appears to be messing up the UV maps when i load the object before i export it, making it so the textures dont display correctly in the render

messed up textures

i'm trying blender's UV mapping system, seems like it unwraps things more correctly

lightwave seems to distort/stretch pieces of the mesh at times

Blender will do strange things also. It is crucial that the unwrap uses the object center for proper alignment.
I have found Blender UV to be a royal pain... Maybe I just need more practice with it.

had some success with blender, but still having the same problem when i load the objects into poseray
must be some sort of problem with the verts or polys

aggravating...

I had the same problem. I think that changing the mapping to cubic solved it. I don't remember exactly. It was something like that.

if only TG2 had cubic mapping...

that would simplify things a bit in my case.
