Ok. I know I am not supposed to make "Team Requests," but I made a simple fence model, and UV Unwrapped it. (I UnWrap semi-decently.) and I went to try to map it, but I SUCK at UV mapping, making the texture it is. Attached is a Fence and a UV Unwrap, a .bmp and .png, the .png, I erased all the triangulated lines, making it easier for me, the .bmp is the original unwrap. Can anyone help me? All I need is a simple fence map, it is 256x256, and low poly, 170 something due to the triangulation. So if anyone has any free time, bored, just "feels" like it, or wants to help, can you make me one please? If so, thank you. If a mod sees this thread as dumb, should not be here, etc, feel free to delete it.

I did this really quick because it's such a simple model.

You'll notice I included a "wood.png" which is just the wood texture I made to tile on the UV map. What you should have done was get or make a texture like that and then just apply a box projection onto each piece of that fence as you made it, that way you wouldn't have to even have a UV map as every piece would just re-use the same pixels (being a simplistic kind of model that is a good idea), you could use as high a resolution texture file as you wanted for the wood, and it would have saved you the time asking us to make a UV map for this.

Yeah, after I posted this, I started to work on it myself, for practice. I like how you did it, I think I may use both of the fences in some way, shape, or form... I am working on basic tests in game making software, and I am trying to make the little things (like fences) low poly, and low res models, hence the 256x256 and the 136 poly count. Thanks for the texture. =D

Perhaps he doesn't want a crap UV map? Doing a good unwrap of a complex mesh can take ages, the hardest part is sorting the mapped pieces, it's like a jigsaw puzzle with a variable amount of pieces and no correct answer, only better ones than your last, and rearranging things can take ages but once it's done the fun begins .

There should be a paint system for you to like paint parts of the UV map to make it far easier to read. When I unwrap something its usually a jumbled mess of crap, however if I could see color coating it would be sweet.

Blender has that. All you have to do is render. quiet simple.

You said that, so I suggested blender, because it can do just that.

I meant like, what do you mean you just have to render it?

I think the tutorial at the end explains it all. I didn't realize you could do this either until I found the thread above.

@Orisis what he is saying is that blender as a renderer, but you don't need to render it. As it has a texture button on the view area. And It now has automatic transparency rendering inside of the engine.
