I have no idea how to make one, or rather do both uv mapping and texturing.

I'm going to release a video guide of some UV mapping soon. I've done it, but I need to re-record the sound.

That would be better, i learn much easier by watching videos Big Grin

fuck, acies, i need some help man. i traced a picture with the cv curve tool, then revolved the surface, and modified the shape of it. this is not the problem though, my problem is that.. well... my UV points dont show up on the UV snapshot or anything. and when i try exporting my model, then i get a bunch of collada errors, and when i try opening the dae file in the modelview then i get a blackbox error. any ideas on what to do?
