UV Unwrapped CD

Here is my first successful UV unwrap from Max.
Modelled the CD (impressive!).
Unwrapped the texture coordinates.
Created all the necessary textures from photos and procedural mxm.
Model uses only one mxm with front and back photo maps and AGS for the clear plastic parts. 4 layers with weight maps.

I'm so excited about finally figuring out how to unwrap a texture.
This is going to help my main work tremendously.

Anyway, thanks for lookin!

Hi Bubbaloo,

Simple model but looking great.

Regarding UV unwrapp...
I stumbled a few days ago over this application :

http://www.uvlayout.com

and I was very impressed about the concept and the clear way of putting together like "creme a la creme" to creat the most convenient workflow for unwrapping difficult objects and most of all to understand how to approach this tedious work.
Just take look at the movies on the site. There is the whole application presented through little movies and a head unwrapping tutorial.

(I also posted a link in the Off Topic section hoping some people might share my enthusiasm ... I really hope my post does not sound like spam or a cheap commercial message... I have nothing in common with the makers of this software)
