Laying out UVs for modular pieces???
This is my first time attempting to make modular pieces for UDK and I was wondering about how to lay out my UVs for the different pieces. Say the roof here( pic below) I have the UVs packed to the edges which is going to be on a 1024 map with a tileable texture. Now the pillars here, modular as well are packed the same… -

However, if you can see yourself using the piece in another scene, level, area on it's own then you may want to make it a separate… -

i would avoid UV sharing between meshes just for the strong reason that if those meshes are not on the screen at the same time, you have wasted texture space because unused mesh textures are being loaded into memory because it shares it's texture map with something that is on screen. as for the texture density, a quick way…
