A wrap vs. UV mapping?

[Fundo!]

What is a wrap and what is Uv mapping? are they the same thing?

 

[takakenji]

a wrap is what goes around the unit when you put it on, usually just a skin, UV mapping is changing the shape of the model around to fit the skin, it's hard to explain

So is a wrap a skin?

 

[chilla_killa]

I call it texture.

uv mapping: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uv_mapping
--->putting a 2d texture on a 3d model(a process)

wrap---> the model has the texture as a skin on its "body"
unwrap---> how the model looks like on a 2d plane
