This UV mapping tutorial shows how to use the cylindrical map projection method to create UVs. It also shows how to make necessarily adjustments to these UVs in the UV editor. A demonstration of custom grids and subsets are also shown.
This tutorial was recorded using version 7.0. It can be done in version 7.5 and 8.0, but the UV mapping portion is geared towards the less advanced UV tool set in 7.0.
