mageypoo

so was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how they would layout uv for these sorts of thin long shapes.  worried if they r to thin and all that thanks all and that's whats caused the weird black edges used cage as well btw ty all

you need to make straight strips...

ty for amazingly quick reply do you mean of both? does it matter if the front uv loses its triangle shape I thought that would have distorted it?

there is some amount of stretching that you can live with, the gain from straight uvs will outweight the loss from minor stretching here
