Hi :) I have a two fold question regarding the work flow between Blender and Wings.

1) If you unwrap and texture in wings then import the wings model into Blender does blender recognise the UVW map ??

2) Which of the two apps Blender or Wings handles texturing better... i.e which ones has better tools to unwrap with ??

thanks for your time :)

Yes. I export from Wings as OBJ and the UV coordinates (as well as any texture) transfer automatically to Blender when you import the object. It may also work by importing the Wings file in Blender, but that import script doesn't always work for me, so I tend to always use OBJ.


2) Which of the two apps Blender or Wings handles texturing better... i.e which ones has better tools to unwrap with ??

It comes down to personal preference. I've unwrapped in both. I like the edge selection capabilities of Wings a little better myself for unwrapping, but both produce nice unwraps. Try them both and see which you like better.
