UV mapping texture software

First is an easy one, a table cloth (very quick model, not to any scale) I supplied the texture also.

What's up with the edges around the centre? Anyway I'll knock something out.

I used Artisan...

Here is another, more complicated, it's a bed spread drape in which I used Artisan, TGI and cleanup, this is what I'd use more than often to create such models, yet UV mapping it is almost impossible in SU. Also not to scale.

Rich, I would also like to know how do you UV map such irregular shapes, I mean where do you hide the seams?

Okay, you mapped it and you can whistle

Can you show how it's done?

It was a test before I record the process to see if it's what you want. I'll record it now.

Pete?

Great stuff Rich, I had that app at one time until I formatted my drive two months ago, need to get it again and use your tutorial and see if I can get a similar result.

Well, I just brushed the surface here of what this can do. Let me know if there's anything else you need
