Unwraping a curved object (how I do)

[micheus]

Thanks Marcin Maćkowiak.

I forgot to mention. RoadKill is a UV Tool that we can download the standalone version (look for Maya in the page). We need to export a .OBJ to use with it.

I don't like much its selection tools, that is why I prefer to cut all the mesh in Wings3D. Most the time I load the .OBJ in RoadKill I've noticed Wings3D has been doing a good job unfolding the mesh - at least if I chose good segments to cut.
