pelt mapping a character

[jabbermacy]

define 'good' - you mean it gives you a map you can't paint on? if it's seam location, then let's talk otherwise you should be more specific. have you viewed the TUT video showing multi section mapping?

i wont be painting on the map i'll use procedural materials to make my skin texture i just want to have a uniform mapping i have viewed the video but i'm still not sure where to place my seams

This isn't a direct answer, but I believe procedurals work off of a global coordinate system and aren't affected by local coordinates.

Less of the ignorant 'know all' vibes c'mon have some respect.

There is no need to unwrap or pelt when using a procedural map as they are calculated in three dimension, so unless you are using the procedural map in an explicit map channel it is just wasted time.
vaXn8d: procedural maps can be affected by local coordinates when set to object XYZ instead of world XYZ.

Anyway, a screenshot of your problem would be helpfull.

The only one showing no respect here is you calling other people ignorant.

what if he's using just a bitmap that is tileable both ways, is the the same thing? does he have to unwrap it.

if i think about it...it should be the same because an infinitely tileable image is the same thing as procedural...but idk.

You are wrong. An tileable bitmap require is a strict 2D map as it only maps in two dimnesion, usually U and V where as a procedural map works on 3 dimensions(if not used in an explicit map channel).
