    thanks for the feedback although i feel as if i could get / should be getting alot better res i eventually want these textures to be 1024/ especially if they were going to go into a game i honestly dont think the details would hold up.

    I would really use more polys for that, what is your intention ? It looks like it is meant for a smartphone FPS.
    Why destroy the shape if nobody tells you to do so ?

    Also those cylinders look like they are too small in diameter from what I remember (not sure there) and on your UV is a bunch of free space : P

    thanks for the feedback :), i work in the mobile industry so its very easily for me to get to carried away with optimisation and push towards that area. ;) need to break the habbit, i gave myself a limit of 3k when i started, im at 4k so ive gone over that alot :(

    i wasn't clear, that uv sheet above is a little miss leading as its missing information like on the right hand side that's actually where all the cylinder information is, but still you are right the shells have to much padding in places.

    looking at those uvs shells now i see so much pixel loss.

    extreme delay on update :P basic shader setup and textures, this has really taught me the importance of uv layouts, way not enough res for what i wanted.
