Leigh, over at CGTalk, put together some links. http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7598 I don't know how well those links explain the fundamentals of mapping, but I assume they do walk you through the process using several different approaches. If you go through the process enough, it will eventually sink in as to what's going on. Good luck. edit: I'm almost ready to start mapping my Pui Pui character. Care to follow along over at PSG? I've provided a link to the Pui Pui thread in my other post over here. Just look down a few threads.

Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 11-20-2002 01:39 The gist of it is that every corner of a triangle is mapped to the X-Y plane (U coordanites turn into X coordinates, V into Z). That way, the 3D object can have a texture "wrapped" around it. This makes it possible to make textures for 3D objects in 2D image editors.

I've scoured the web for something decent but I haven't found much yet, and the Maya PLE documentation has huge holes in it when it comes to it's texturing and UV mapping stuff. I understand UV mapping from the stuff I've down with MAX R3 in the past but Maya is really shitting me. Oh, GRUMBLE, if your doing game/web related stuff (Skinning/UV mapping complex models with a single texture) and your using MAX then you'll love these plugins: http://www.chilliweb.co.uk/chilliskinner/ http://www.cuneytozdas.com/software/max/texporter/ Both are really handy when your unwrapping UV's for skinning and the like.
