What would you advise me to do for a body of a car?(what type of unwrap? cylinder?)

[Eddievedda1]

@orlin258 Try Box unwrap or even divide it into lots of groups for each body plate, then use plane :D good luck

Eddy, your tutorials are very helpful. Thanks very much. Really appreciate them. Hope you get to do more of this kind of thing in your work eventually. I'm grateful for folks like you who endeavor to pass along your know-how. I've never taken a class. After several years of learning from internet tutorials like yours in my spare time, I can create really nice models, rigging, animation, and more. Keep doing what you do.

Eddy, CGI is great fun. I'm not sure if I'll ever make money from 3D modeling, but it's so addictive. I run an english speaking pop music radio in Cambodia for a living. Lots of audio and voice work which good fun too, but no 3Dmax work, sadly. - Tim
