      Hi, I wanted to ask if there is a tool that allows u to use the uv grid setting in the UVW unwrap modifier in 3dsmax to slice up your model into seperate elements or objects. This is very useful for very high detail texturing. Thanks

      Hi, thanks for sharing this work. I've started to go deeper into clean topology and now wonder about some triangles, for example the one above/ahead of the rear wheel arch and the ones around the door handle.
