In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I'm very jaded about the whole UV texturing thing ( i have been at it for the best part of a week and It's unbelievably frustrating!!!!!!!!!) I hate it! I want to go back to rpocedural texturing!

What you are going to have to do is differentiate the UVs on the back from the front.
For example, this is a texture from my Hillbilly model that's in the gallery.

you'd project from back, front, etc as many as you'd need to lay out the UVs flat. You'd also need to Sew the UVs togther where they need to be, such as the front and back are sewn at the neck in my example.

You might get better results with the head by using spherical or cylindrical mapping.

It depends on how your texture looks as to how visible those seams are.

Btw, just made a quick texture in photoshop for fun (pic attached). However, its still not the look I want, so I think I repaint a new texture later.
