Unwrap UVW question - 3d max 2009

[vitaliks777]

Hi all!

 

I can’t find the answers for my questions - is there difference between applying Unwrap UVW to Editable Poly and Editable Mesh? And what better?

 

I’ve decided to make full relax (Relax By Edge Angles) for the same geometry in editable mesh and in editable poly. And results are a bit different (see links below)… In viewports and at renders it is not too obvious (maybe too simple geometry), but in UVW editor the differences are easy to find.

Any thoughts?
