Over the next two videos, we're going to take a look at a number of tools, found in the Explode Rollout, that may, at times, be just what we need, and, as we are going to be working, in this exercise, with the eye piece on our robot's head, let's go ahead and select that in View Port, and then open up the UV Editor for ourselves.
