In the UV Map section, it "projects" the path your texture will follow on the object. You get a better map on a difficult object. Attachments:

I always unfolded and shied away from that cylinder, spherical mapping, because other than unfolding being best for clothes, the others were more difficult to understand.

Well, it IS more difficult to understand, and it unfolds as well. It just unfolds as one piece, not many.

You note I don't have Fawn done yet.......I UV mapped it all, but quit cause I've had enough for the day. And, I still don't have even half the petals done on the booties.

And, I still don't have even half the petals done on the booties. It's the petals I'm stuck on! They can't be done with symmetry or en mass. Each petal will have to be done alone. I use soft select a lot to get the bends and the curves. Tug, pull, bend.......rinse, repeat.

What I'm doing is pulling down one point and then skipping over two and pulling down another, but it's not working. Nah, put on Soft Selection at about 1.00 and pull that middle point. You'll get a more round petal that way. Then you can turn off soft selection and pull out the tip.

I tried before because of your other post saying to do so but I did not have it at 1.

I tried before because of your other post saying to do so but I did not have it at 1. OK, here's exactly how I do a petal. Put on Soft Select at about 1.00, depending on how close your polygons are. I select 2 edges next to each other and pull out. Then, if I want a wide petal, I widen with the (red) X scale on the universal translater. Once I have the correct petal width, I switch to points - still with Soft Select on. The final point I pull out without soft select. Does that make sense?

Working on beveling the edges. My 3 yr old is always getting into things and won't allow me the time to sit down and concentrate on this. I'm feeling the pressure because I haven't produced ONE finished work. Attachments:

I'm feeling the pressure because I haven't produced ONE finished work. Looking great! See, I don't have a 3 yr. old (unless you count hubby) to interrupt me. No pressure. Go at your own pace.
