I know its a simple question, and I did try a search before I asked this question but can someone tell me how to cut UV's while I'm in the UV Texture Editor, so I can move em and sew em up again?

select the edge, cut, then you can move the UVs and select the edge you want to sew.

I don't mind laying out uv's (much hehe..) but I HATE when you do this TIME-CONSUMING tedious and perfect job doing it, only to find stretching STILL.

Hate that...

pixar only use UV mapping for decals and lettering all of their texturing is done using renderman. And no it's very very not free. But there are a few renderman compliant renderers that are.... emm i think they are air, brmt, angel (being developed by one of my lecturers).

It's worth looking into and it can really help you get a job in the industry too.
