Ok well hello!! Im working on this onion here that i made in zbrush. Its in maya now in its lowest subdivision so i can fix the UV's which are screwy.
I've tried so many times to do this but i wanted the texture to come to a point at the bottom and to a point at the top. You can see from the bottom image what i mean. Also the point it comes together at the top... you can see it happens below the top and swirls around.

I am extremely new to UVing but have seen many videos/tutorials but still havent made much progress here. I'm hoping someone can say, ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL, maybe than I'll know its a problem I can fix. I've pulld and tugged on the UVs but the texture has no desire to do what i want it to. Of course this isnt a very complex model(level 6 in displacement map has nice detail), lots of character model tutorials are cut up into numerous pieces. Doesnt this just need a single seam and to be flattened? or do i need to cut it into 2 pieces?
