Hello there !

I'm curious about this thing quite a long time.

lets assume i have a model (whole body) and i want to unwrap it (software 3ds max)
what workflow should i follow ?

i see all artists all around have symmetrical UV maps

should i delete one side of model ?
what step must i do after succesful compleeting Unwraping of one side ?
how to transfer symmetrycal UVs and add Symmetry modifier at 1 time ?

maybe any kind of tutorial explaining that process.. ?

thank you in advance!
