I think I’m starting to get the hang of UV mapping, however, this is happening: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/6226/erroruvmap.jpg
Not that the extra seam work around the affected area is an attempt to solve the problem. I have a feeling this is not an error with the actual seams but an error made somewhere in the modeling process. I made a previous post in the work in progress section. (See: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=189344 for an earlier screenshot.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
