I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

XeroWolf i hear ya!
I've got some guns and armors I'd like to use for game modding but the tactics used for UV Unwrapping a box just aren't gonna cut it.
