Unwrapping a low poly scene to make best use of texture space
Hi polycount! I'm working on a low poly island scene and I want to make the best use of my texture space. I want to do something like this: http://wiki.polycount.com/ModularMountAndBlade?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Modular_MountBladeMod_01.jpg but I'm pretty confused on how to go about it.

and lastly always research on your stuff, like I used search keywords such as tile, loop, texturing, modular, low poly, uv mapping,... I always wonder why its so hard to search or get after the right keywords for so many people *shrug* . Maybe we should add some sticky or tutorials on how to research on your own and get the best out of it- like some nifty google tricks.
A general 'keywords for dummies' type of guide would work very well. Many of my friends don't know what Vertex-Painting is, and many more don't know you can apply materials to it when creating shaders...
Which reminds, does the Polycount Wiki have a keyword catalogue?
On-Topic: Yeah, do what RenderHJS said...
People sometimes get angry thinking that often people are lazy slackers (because they don't research and rather depend on others) but I think its a clear lack of skills, skills that should be essential.
I might be able to write up some techniques I use around the google platform for example (gImages, google, gTranslate, imageSearch, additional search commands, sort by subject, picasa search,..) and maybe some strategies on how to break up a search to get what you think you need or want.
