unwrapping models in max

[Dave Black]

There are several ways, though all are listed in the manuals. Have a look through the tutorials and then let us know if you still don't understand.

Or use the tutorials that are part of the software.

I tend to only uv map by using the unwrap uv modifier. But there are other ways, that seem a bit too complex for me. I dont understand myself why some people break apart their objects into a billion other pieces, just to recombine them when unwrap should do?

i see what your saying so 3dmax sucks for mapping

[Dave Black]

Actually, max has one of the most powerful mapping systems in the industry. Looks like you just picked up a copy and started messing around without consulting any documentation and drew a conclusion that max sucks for mapping, when in fact, the complete opposite is true.

ill keep crackin at it

The problem isn't the tools in max. The problem appears to be you don't have a manual, or haven't taken the time to open it.

As 3DZealot mentioned, max has a help system built in. You can access it via the F1 key.
