Well, I know nothing of editing Jedi Academy files - I only know about general 3D modelling/skinning/texturing. What I know about editing as it pertains to Jedi Academy is from tutorials (mostly the the JK2 tutorials at Polycount.com). So, unfortunat...  [Read More]

Hiya, I'm working on the UV and texture map for my Miyamoto Musashi (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=115572) model. What I want to know is, is it more efficient to make one big UV map, or to give each section its own UV map...  [Read More]
