Capsule Unwrapper

Texturing your model from scratch: Start the script with ALT+P. Append the model you want to unwrap with SHIFT+F1. Select the model and click UPDATE button. The script will generate an unwrapped version of your model. Tweak the script's parameters until you're satisfied with the result. When ready, you should: (a) Click on "assign UV" button so that uv texture coordinates of your model will be changed. (b) Render. You will use this image as a guide for painting a texture image. One way to do this is to open the image in your favourite 2D program (GIMP, Photoshop etc.), make it half-transparent, insert a new layer below it and paint the new layer. This new layer will be the texture image for your model. One thing to note: The texture image should not be shaded since Blender will do the shading later. When finished, simply assign the texture image to your model.

Texturing game models: Since your game model will not be shaded properly in the game mode, you must use a shaded texture. Do the setup as above. When rendering try to obtain a good image by selecting subsurfaces, adjusting the lights, etc. You can use this shaded image directly as a texture for your game model. Of course you may want to improve it and add extra features using a 2D Paint program (or if you are a hardcore blenderhead, you can use Blender's Texture paint tool)

There may be many other uses as well. For example, I am planning to use Strubi's unwrapper to export Blender's radiosity solution to my game engine as a light map. I am sure that will look terrific.
