Hi
A simple way would be to add seams around the caps unwrap them, then select the faces between them and from the front view hit U and select Cylindre from view. Now select all the faces and move(and resize) the UV islands in your image/UV editor.

hope this will help you!

@tim-efobi jesse,

I’m also nigerian. I’ve been using Blender for over 4-months now ( though i’m not a pro at it yet – but at least- beyond a ‘basic’ user). I’ve come to the conclusion that there aren’t many blender users in nigeria, even if searched via Google.
That book Blend3D recommended is really good – cuz i’ve read it.
I also would recommended,among other things, getting the BlenderNewbies toolbar for your web browser (http://blendernewbies.communitytoolbars.com/ ) ;it’s very efficient and keeps all those blender-related sites in one place. -As well as joining lots of blender forums -asking any questions you might have, and reading up 3D/art related materials and books (not just Blender3D alone) -it’ll help sharpen your skills.
But even if you get ‘all’ the materials,books,CD/DVD tuts; i believe the bottomline really comes down to constant practice.

I’m trying to see how i can talk to a few people at the Blender Foundation to build a following in Nigeria – cuz the 3D/Animation industry in Nigeria is young, but very promising at the same time.

Cheers

Tim-efobi jesse:
Follow this link to obtain a pdf copy of a High School course book that is very good for getting up to speed with Blender 2.49:

Once you have mastered that text proceed to http://www.rab3d.com/tutorial.html for some advanced usage tutorials.

Best of luck to you,

I recommend baking global normals to the image instead of using the outline script for UV maps. It not only tells the dimensions of the UV map, but also indicates the orientation of the individual faces.
