this might sounds really stupid but, please if you can, explain...im going to list a few steps, and someone post there steps as well :) THANX!!
1. Model
(I use CPS to model)
2. Delete History
(After I finish with CPS, while in the low poly mode, i delete history)
3. Apply Smooth Node
(I apply a smooth node, with 2 divisions)
4. Create QuickSets
(I adjust smooth node to 0 divisions and create my quick select sets such as, face, neck, etc...)
5. Apply UV Maps
(I change my smooth node back to 2 divisions, and apply UV maps)
* this is actually where i am having a problem. On a detailed model, with a smooth node set to 2 divisions, IT IS VERY HARD to adjust UVs in the UV TEX EDITIOR...I have tried to change my smooth node back to 0 divisions after applying the UVs, but the UVs fly all over the place and it looks like a digital abstraction of some sort.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GO STEP BY STEP DISCUSSING THEIR UVing TECHNIQUE INCLUDING THINGS SUCH AS; APPLY THE SMOOTH BEFORE OR AFTER LAYING OUT UVs. I MEAN STEP BY STEP....I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THIS, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE....WE CAN ALL FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERY OF THE DREADED UV.....
THANX EVERYONE!!
