UV won't relax right

jackanimated

Hello,

So I had previously made a high poly version of this model and unwrapped and textured it with no problems. This is a lowpoly version and for some reason I cannot seem to get it to relax right. OK I have a sink shape in the midde, but I can relax that separately. The main shape will not relax to have straight edges. I cannot see any problems with the topology.

Am I missing something?

Try reset xforms on your object, or try this option when using relax;

I use relax all the time and it doesn't usually produce straight edges when there's curved source geometry. Normally I'll straighten the edges a bit afterwards.

I have reset Xforms and used polygon angles, but no joy.

The geometry is straight on the edges actually. The high poly looks like this:

It just seams like something is not right in the UV. For example if I just select only a few of the polygons and relax them, they do not relax right either.

Are there any other functions like reset Xforms I can try?

It's the sink that's causing the warping in the UVs. You'll either have to cut the sink out, straighten manually after relaxing, or just let it be.

Ok, I see it now. I must have unwrapped nicely in high poly because there were enough polys to not cause stretching. I've deleted loops to make the low poly, so the topology is no longer consistent.

If you upload the lowpoly without textures I'll have a look. It's true that you can't expect perfectly straight edges, but some areas look a bit weird indeed.

Looks a little strange in some areas. I would personally just Relax and then quickly straighten any UVs that are still bugging me.
