It's a bit messy but I hope it helps somehow. Also It's the same as you, these are my findings/thinkings, some may be totally/partially wrong.

In wings3D i have this UVmapping button, wich opens a new window(after freezing 15 seconds).
In that Window i can see the future texture layout, all the polygones are "flat on paper".
I can recognise the polygones, the hull side, the deck, the central gunstation, and all.
The parts are cut in half, so i can only see the left side of the ship- i suppose they will be mirrored like all our ships hull textures, and ships deck textures.
I can then move these groups of polygones around- and arrange them. That would give me a new layout for the whole ship. all in one texture.
I have only started to move the first polygones on Saturday, after finding the CLONE button in Pack3D
so....
It is an amazing world, this modeling, and i am SO glad i have the original ship to work on. I constantly see new Plans and it is hard to make a choice wich one to do.
Thank you for the tips!
BTW time consuming is not a problem; CORRECTLY moving Polys and vertices is, too, and i have no job and i hate sleep...
:hmm: :rotfl:
still flabbergasted as to the possibilities.
