Someone knows a good UV mapping tool for 3d models, i want to enhance the graphical looks of the models im trying to build. Also want to tempt to do animated chars without frame by frame, drawings.

I'm experienced with 3D modeling, the only problem is that it requires more time than I can normally spend on it.

I can believe that. I've been having the same issue... but yeah I'm kinda allowed to do it at school since its about multimedia which i wanted to have as a minor (tobad that the canceled that program).

What kind of things are you doing in modeling?

[Kuro Tenshi]

well now im really doing basic stuff, altough i did some point to point work it really didn't work out. I was trying to apply cel shading but it was so off, random lines between points began to show black outlines and such so i currently start from cubes/cilinders/etc. and remodel these.

+ my current modeling tool is C4D since i'm creating some mods for Amnesia.

I use C4D and Blender, both are good.

Blender, those where some bad days :/ just couldn't get to work with it a couple of years ago ... idk about now though. Maya and 3DSMax seems to have simplified over de releases.

Blender is really good for characters and weapons, I have 3DS Max but I never use it whatsoever.

hmm maybe this will help since this is the main prop i want to use a UV mapper for. I know that most engines do differ but if you create it from a universal map it should be possible to transfer it from engine to engine. i do warn you that the sizes of the images are over the 10mb each.

I would use Maya for UV Mapping, it breaks it down the simplest unless you just want to use UV Mapper which is a decent freeware tool.
