tutorials and UV mapping

#1

One little tutorial on UV mapping: the hat of kajaten_child_head.lwo in a pdf format.
Quite interesting. And although I am not an expert in UV mapping, i read this tutorial twice.
Now i wonder, how do you people VU mapthe “famous” Hippo, or the cameleon. I really would like to see that in a tut. I just made myself a caterpiller and tried several options in mapping. Well i could not find a good map, so i broke up the caterpiller into parts and exported it.

So could anyone point me to some tutorials where UV mapping is explained??
Thanks

meni has a good technique, but what I learned to do was unweld along near center and then skin it like a bear skin rug. Unwrap it in the 3D viewport.
