ta539 panton chair UV map

[zvezdan]

I have a similar looking chair like the one shown in the pics and its hard for me to map it.
Is there any way that i can make a uv map to look like a qube so the patterns apply normaly? I would just map it from the front but the patterns look distorted. I sent the message to ta539 but she didnt reply back. Can you help me guys?

Prolly cos she made it out of a cilinder wich is mapped identical.
So her chair was already mapped before she created it. :)

It's possible to do it but it would be sorta a flog tbh. Also, in Sims 3 if you map all the way to the edges like that map is mapped you're prolly gonna have some problems with the way your texture lays on the object in-game.
