"The main goal of this article/tutorial is to give you a few hints and tricks that might help you to make your own textures look better. What you'll read are things other people taught me, or that I had to discover for myself. They are not the only way to handle some of the problems, but over the years I've found that these work best". - Jeroen Maton

RoadKill UV Tutorial from Ezra Cove on Vimeo.

In this tutorial, you are introduced to Roadkill UV, a freeware application that serves as a fairly simple, straightforward, and fast way of unfolding 3D models and laying out UVs. Roadkill can be used in conjunction with any program that can import/export obj files, such as Maya, 3DS Max, or Softimage. This video demonstrates the unwrapping of simple objects – a cube and a torus – then steps you through using Roadkill to unwrap an entire character.
