Unwraping a curved object (how I do)

[Marcin Maćkowiak]

Which one would you prefer to segment to unwrap?

Simple question - the left one. But as you said if we are going to smooth it in the future it is going to ruin the mesh. We can fix it with stretch optimization, but mesh won't be the same anymore.

Anyway there was a good suggestion somewhere on the forum to update a slide option so the slide don't change the uv projection same for move and smooth. So I guess there will be no question like that in the future
