Hi all i am new to the forum. I recently modeled a simple low polygon head and i made a picture for the map, but i have a problem... here is the 3d model http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/kingkostas/3dphoto.jpg here is the simple drawing to use it as a map.. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/kingkostas/fullmapping.jpg and finally the mapped head with UVW mapping (not UVW unwraped) http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/kingkostas/whythishappens.jpg what can i do?

what is the polycount on the head? it doesn't look low poly to me. as for your mapping, unless you do a uvw unwrap you'll have to collaspe your mesh and select those faces that you want to change, then apply another uvw mapping wuith theose faces selected and alter the uv coords, that will fix that area. and if i may say so, your texture map is horribly wastful, that is unless you're going to put something in that blank area in the map.

Yeah in that blank area i had the back view taxture for the head. Whatever thnx for your help i will try it soon :) (about the polycount i just put a meshmooth and two lights to make it nicer )

well, you shouldn't put meshsmooth on a mesh and still call it low poly. also keep in mind mesh smooth will alter uvw coords.
