Suggestion on Texturing Tutorial
I am making a model of a hockey player and am having issues texturing. My biggest issue is where the standard UV projection methods for complex geometry give me some serious issues around the edges of my models. For instance, I have made a great glove model, but when I set up UV's and texture it, the edges of the glove are really "muddy."
I know there are several texturing tutorials and several methods on how to clean up the UV's. Anyone have a suggestion on which tutorial or series of tutorials might be best.
Thanks!

If you look where the arrow is, the texture is getting all swiggly. I think the best way to have handled that would have been to make the mesh flat, texture it, then curve and adjust it. I however am not that smart.
I am under the distinct impression that their are ways that the pro's handle this, especially when you often have one guy modelling the mess and a second texturing.
