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.
