UV mapping with Wings3D

[Radi]

My little advice:

1- look at this sphere and its corresponding UV charts, I used simple projection mapping from AutoUV window:


2- I scaled one of charts to smaller size. If you texture this, you will get blurred and unequal image.
Like seen on screen below, texture is uneven on two adjacent surfaces


So if you have charts that define surfaces side by side, good thingy is to scale them all in the same time or later using Wings neat feature in UV window, Its easy:

3- select all charts that define adjacent surfaces as seen below, better do it in body mode (also normalizing only works in body mode ;p)


now RMB opens a menu and choose 'SCALE' there, then 'NORMALIZE SIDES'
Voila!, now charts are scaled properly (the same as seen on first screen). Now you can scale them all in the same time without fear

@micheus: I dont use stitching, it stretches texture on surface so better is to avoid that (but maybe I wrong), just look at result when two charts have been merged:


texture is stretched and look ugly this way stitching may work but maybe when charts are more square-like..

Hope I help a little. cheers
