Hi all. I did a search on here but found no refference to the program UVMapper. If it has been shown on mentioned before it dont matter as im sure many new members will find this helpfull.
This is a free utility that remaps the UVs which alows you to map out your character in any way to see fit in order to texture in any paint application.
Here is a tutorial and link.
