Just a few thoughts.

Are not most of the Hexagon and Carrara uses coming from a background of Bryce and Poser?

I have used Carrara from 2 through to 5Pro and have never found the need to use UVs really ever!

I do have a 3D paint programme on which I can paint on the 3D object directly without any UVs.

I have, a couple of times used UVMapper Classic to produce a map (not really UV I think), to use to paint on in Photoshop and apply as a texture.

Now I suggest my learning is probably "average" (maybe above that of the average?)--can you fully realise the consternation at reading the first paragraph (below the heading 1.Texture Mapping on p224 of the Hexagon Help)?

Again this is not a complaint about "tutes" that are done but stressing the importance of the desperate need for detailed steps and clarity in the quality of Help files and tutorials for us, the "average" people!
