To export this out, I'm going to hit the A key and select everything, and then I'm going to go to the UVs menu here and go to export UV layout. Now I'll put this in my textures folder here and if we come down here, the size, we've got it currently at 1024 by 1024, and I happen to know that this particular image is only about 500 pixels big, so why don't we take our resolution down to something like 512 by 512, just so we aren't having to scale up our image to fit the UVs, and therefore, cause some pixelization. We've got the format here as PNG, and we've got the fill opacity at 0.25. Now we're using a PNG because it automatically comes…
