Why doesn't any one notice my questions?
Please just take a look.
thanks

With regards to question 2, theres a method which involves using the render to texture feature. You do this to your character and in photoshop edit and save it. However, I could never get it to unwrap manually in render to texture...

not much help, I know...

Thanks a lot dear friend.

but I meant something else :
after rendering to texture and completing the uv mapping and exporting to photoshop for painting, how can we paint so that the seams does not appear. for example for the wrist and the hand, what can I do ?

don't you know about the first question? how the ratio of sizes between limbs could remain in the correct way ?

thanks again

How to get the seams out in photoshop?, it involves cloning/soft erasing. I'll go more into that if you want but I'm sure I've the wrong end of the stick...again.

As for your 1st question then, the only 'definate' and 'simple' method to get all the limb UV's ratio equal that I have used is when I used an application called DeepUV. There was seriously a button that adjusted all your uv's to keep everything equal. But then I started to think that was just daft...because you are better off making parts you are not going to see much (bottom of shoes, backside, under legs etc) much smaller in ratio so you can used the extra space on your map to make the important parts bigger (more high res)...

I asked a question recently about scale of unwrapped segments to other segments... As far as I know the main method people use is to do it by eye, I use a checker map to help with this. You can make maps use a larger area of the texture space and therefore achieve a higher resolution in areas which need the detail (the face is the most common area for high res) but if those areas link to low res areas along a seam, no matter how hard you try to paint the seams away if the resolution is too different then you won't get it to work well.

There is a way to ensure the same scale for UVs on different parts. It is a bit tedious, but it works.

So if you really want the same scale for differents UV parts ...
Use the "Stitch Selected" feature on selected edges. Use different Mat Ids for different UVs so that you are able to break the parts off again if you don't want them to stay stitched together. After that use "Weld selected" on your parts for easier selection.

thank you very much BOA
it worked for me about 90%
but
but
some parts could not be done like that . you ask which parts ? the ones with different kind o uv maps. you know what I mean ?
think of a cylinder comes out of a plane ; the plane has planar and the cylinder has cylindrical uv maps. by the way . i'll try it,

:thumbsup:
