Hi,

I'm trying to make low poly version of a Droideka like this:
[Link to content.answers.com]

I finished the model and now I'm trying to UVW unwrap it but I'm having trouble finding a good method.

For example, when I try to unwrap the bicep (circled in the picture below) with a planar map and then flatten it in the edit uvws window I get a bunch of trapezoids (as seen below). When I try boxed mapping, or normal/unfold in the uvw edit window it comes out with similar results.

Is there a method I can use that will just unfold all the faces as proper rectangles? I'm having similar problems with the rest of the model; it's mostly rectangular faces.

Note that I'm making this for a game engine that requires the droideka to be uvw unwrapped on all one texture, which is why I have all the meshes currently merged together for easy mapping.

Thanks.
