I've been thinking ...
I've got a lot to learn. So would'nt it be a good option to wait a bit with UV-mapping untill LW9 is released. That way I've acces to more tools and new features.
The book that I've ordered on texturing by L Van der Byl has arrived. Maybe I can use that also in combination with the tutorials here. That way I learn other methods than UV mapping for a while and start with UV's later ...
