To be honest you can just shit on how they are cutout when they are at least scaled right

>>525641

It depends. Strictly speaking only 2 things are important:

- avoid stretching and pinching as much as possible, to avoid a warped texture
- make sure that all UVs are scaled correct, to avoid texel size differences.

but...

- if you use small textures, it can be helpful to line up faces nice and straight so you won't see individual pixels too clearly.
- to make baking normals, ao ,etc. easier, you might want to have bigger/fewer UV islands, to reduce the risks of seams.
- also, having bigger/fewer islands decreases the risk of edge bleeding.

so, when I look at your example, I'm wondering why you have a bunch of loose faces that would be much better connected to other faces.

>>525649 ok right, that's what I thought

>>525666 yep cheers that makes perfect sense, thanks
