I'm attempting another mapping in Hex. This post will also go to the Hex forum, but I thought it applied here as well. The simple seal was modeled in Hex, mapped, and brought into Carrara as obj object. Well, it turned out okay, after a few days of playing around. But it is not what I wanted. I wanted the seal to be skinned up the belly, pinned so it won't move... The only way I could do it was down the middle. So that is what I did. The split up the belly attempts only led to a messed up wire jumble. I am including the seal as an obj, as well as pics of the process. I would love it if someone could skin the seal up the belly and come out with a pic. I was able to do something passable with the flippers, but I think Hex can do a better job with the body and head. Thanks for any help R

And in Carrara.

The seal saved as a obj file, but with .jpg extension - I believe you can just change the extension again.
