Now it´s time to UVW-Map the model. The UVW-Map is the layout for the skinning work, it shows which part of the texture belongs to which part of the model.

First, click the "Modifier list" under the name of the model. A rollout gets opened. Pretty afar select "Unwrap UVW" and click "Edit". There should appear a checkered area with some lignes on it.

The next step is a bit tricky; Activate in the "Unwrap UVW" pull-down menu "faces". Then, select the front of the first half of the shield.

Then, after clicking on Edit, choose "Tools->Relax->Start Relax" and you get the form of the half of the shield as lignes. Do the same with the other front-half, but maybe you have to change the "Relax" settings. Then move both halves together in the "Edit" window, that they fill nearly the half of the box.

Repeat the the procedure with the back of the shield and let a small ligne in the middle unfilled.

Next select on "Faces" All edges of the shield and scale them down, that they fit in the small breach.

Congratulations, the UVW-Map is finished and the model is ready to get its skin!
