Bed UVS too tight?

RebSharkoon

Are my UVS ok or are they too tight? I'm modeling a room that has one of this hospital beds in it and I'm trying to get the normals as good as they can be and I know that it depends on two things. The UVS and the Smoothing groups. Anyways , the bed has a lot of little pieces and I was wondering if maybe i packed it a liitle too tight or if there's a better or smarter way to do it. Any opinions?Comments?

Is there no way to measure the pixel distance between two UVs in Max?
If you where using Maya, you could easily measure this distance with my UV editor.

Either way you could make a UV snapshot and measure the pixel distance in Photoshop

They are a little close for a 1024, but I think the amount of UV islands you have for that particular model is way too much and it's wasting a great deal of uv space.

Use TexTools for texel density preview if you not sure.
