Unwrapped UVs, for those who are interested.





Here is the same UV Layout when looked through RoadKill's "stretching colorization" mode. Get RoadKill here.




Green represents good layout. Red represents UVs that are too small. Blue represents UVs that are too large. You'll notice that 99% of the UVs are green, which means that the UV layout has been optimized against stretching.

Bad UV Layouts can cause some very bad texture stretching as seen in the Zoner Destroyer model below:




Stretching is when one square area of your texture covers (for example) 2 polygons, and another square area of the same size covers 10 polygons. What you get is that this second square of the texture has to stretch itself across 8 additional polygons, achieving the stretch effect you see above.
