uv-unwrap a character in max.

Before the meshsmooth, do your basic uv map. after the meshsmooth add another uv map modifier, this one to clean up the smooth, you should still have the basic out lines so just move the points around (this is if you haven't done more than 1 itteration of smothing.)

makkbru,

You have to put the unwrap BEFORE the skin modifier as well, or when you animate your mesh, the textures will distort. In the future you should texture your mesh before you skin it. Make sure you dont weld or delete any verticies. Any change in the order of the verticies will ruin your weighting of the skin modifiier AND your uv mapping coordinates. Good luck.

I would also collapse the stack before skinning. Somitimes the mirror modifier can creating problems with vertex assignments, and that will also cause texturing problems.
