Bezier curves are a nice way to define curvy seams followed by the knife project function to put the seams on the mesh. You can also display false colors on the 2D map to highlight areas of higher stretch or compression.

You can display a checkerboard on the 2D surface and see if the squares are distorted on the 3D mesh.

Blender provides two tools that help you decide when you are finished adding seams so that 2D fabric covers a 3D surface without too much tension or compression on areas of the material. The 3D mesh was unwrapped and plotted in a UV map window. obj file was imported into Blender.Seams were added. I deleted the things that I did not want and exported a. These were uploaded into AutoDesk 123D Catch. My wife took pictures of my head about every 22 degrees around at three levels for a total of 48 photos. The first step was to obtain a 3D mesh data file of my head.
