UV-mapping
I know this is a very basic question, but here it goes:
I converted a nurbs plane into a polygon, and I moved some edges. Now the UV's are distorted. I can't fix it?! Not even by remapping the UV's.
Can you help me please?
I've attached a pic that (hopefully) illistrates the problem...
Thanks in advance...

The sample image I posted is very simple compared to my actual problem, so moving UV's manually is not really an option I'm afraid (it would take too long time)...
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

I solved my problem by creating UV's based on the camera, which of course was orthogonal on the polygon plane.
I stilll wonder why it didn't work with the planar projection?!
Does anybody know that?
Thanks mtmckinley for putting on the right track

I'm sooo stupid
Everything works. I just had to delete current UV layout first
Sorry for all the fuzz...
