spicy:
What is UV and how do you use it? I think it is something to do with textures ???

Kubajzz:
Here's wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

My short (not so good) explanation:
When texturing a mesh (covering its 3D surface with a 2D image), you always want to wrap the texture around the mesh in a certain way. UV coordinates are the parameters that define the position, orienation and size of the texture for each particular face of the mesh.
