Sci-Fi Corridor

MrPie

Making a sci-fi corridor for my portfolio and this is the concept i'm working from




and here's a dirty render



I'm currently unwrapping the big hatch door but i've come across a problem, I've been straightening UV's on some parts so it's easy to texture and so any diffuse information conforms with the shape but the uv checker appears squiggly :S



Any idea why?

you can add more edges to fix that...

It's sometimes a better idea not straighten your UV shell and work to the shape that works best. It can be a pain, but at the expense of a little extra texture work, it's worth doing for a better result.

As stated by the 2 above me. You have 3 options here.
1. Deal with it.
2. Add more edges across that shape to lessen (not remove) the effect of your distored UVs.
3. Unwrap the shape non linearly at the cost of UV space.
