UV mapping

[jin'a]

Hi, i was just wondering what the best way for uv mapping is?

I have been playing around with lightwaves internal uv mapper, however i'm having problems with larger more complicated organic models. I have been using the spherical setting, but it still isn't excellent!

I'm also having problem fitting the uv map on the grid! So when i export it i dont get the whole thing!

Can any of you guys or gals point me in the right direction or give me a url for a good tutorial?

Thanks

to get it all to fit on the grid in the uv view select all your points unweld move them so they all fit then merge them back together. As for doing more complicated models remember you don't have to get it all on one map break them up and try to hide the seems.
