hey guys.... i got some questions about uv texturing and i really appreciate all your help here. Well, as you know, when u do a texture projection sometimes the uv is at the top of each other, tangle, messy or whatever you call it. most of the time its really easy to make it clean and neat by relax the uv. is it ok to relax the uv ?
the other question i wanna ask is , is it gonna cause a trouble/ problem when you move uv point ?

I found that sometimes the texture is kinda distorted ( especially details texture) when u screw around with the uv point, its a big dilemma for me. i really want to make the uv good and neat, not dense, but on the other hand i'm afraid the texture gonna be distorted.

thanks alot guys, i really need that answer.

well, i'm not sure what software you are using, but in maya the relax uv's tool works wonders. make sure you set it to "world space" so that it relaxes the uv's according to the size they are on the mesh.
