UV Layout question

pachermann

Hi all, can someone give me a hint how i could cut my uvs ?

i have the problem that on the sides the offset is very large.
I find it difficult to cut this rounded shape.

where would you cut?



my current uv cut:

Meloncov

Split the sides of the trick part off into separate islands.

i found nice solutions, by welcding all together and just cut the invisible parts.
bit distortion remains but its looking nice.

ah yea its anoter band.
