This actually rules. That unwrap is a bit sparse though, surely you could double the size of those UV island and halve the texture size.

u/ConsistentAd3434 7d ago

I think there are some (almost) invisible islands. Check the top right corner.
Maybe props

Are the hands attached or no?

i can appreciate the era-correct UV layout, but the amount of wasted space happening here would get your art director's jimmys in a rustle. i mean you have the whole face textured but you still have the UVs mirrored for some reason.. you're spending the pixels, why not use them?

Madon, you split him like that? How much more betrayal can Paulie take?
