Thanks Colin & David :)

I will check out the calibration link when I get home. I really need to do this.

Jamie, I don't have photoshop (thinking about getting it) but I will try your suggestion in one of the many freebie paint packages I've got installed. I will let you know how it goes. Your fixed image looks much nicer!

The author of UVMP (Steve Cox) is, like Michael, a good bloke who values his customers and will help you out if you have issues with the software. As you said, it is nice and simple. About the only thing I would like to see added to it is the ability to import multiple obj's to be exported as one obj, something which he is considering adding. In order to maintain those all important vertex normals and merge my parts, I had to use Milkshape, which for $35 handles the vertex normals perfectly. It also has some useful tools. Unfortunately, it is also a very old 3D app and will only load a maximum of 65k polys. Still useful to have in the kit though.
