Hey Narf... check this out

http://news.povray.org/povray.binari...s.povray.org>/

If you export your models to Povray, here's a way to autogenerate UV textures for them from something called procedural textures, which IMO are a lot more flexible and easier to work with, not to mention having no ugly seams!

Just don't smooth everything so much, because this method is REALLY slow - even the sample 750 triangle model provided with the technique took several minutes on my (admittedly dated) P3 1.2GHz machine...

Ok, so, uh, what do I do with that? It didn't seem to say.
Thanks.

Well it's kinda tricky actually... you basically have to run Wings' UV mapper on your model, export it to Povray format, then put your mesh data (the verts, faces, uvs, etc. that you see in the arrays) in the place of the mesh data that's in the sample, in the format specified in the sample (you have to get rid of the numbers that aren't in angle brackets) and render the modified sample with Povray... actually I did it a bit differently but this way is easier to explain that include files and stuff

Input 500 peices of mesh data?

Uh, thanks anyway, but I think I'll just export it to milkshape and go from there.

Povray format is copy-pasteable? Ok, now how do I get wings to export to Povray? I looked at the export function and didn't see that option.

You need a plugin, but the plugin only works with the stable Version, not the development Version. Get the plugin here: http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/software.html
