[NOT A BUG] Failure to unwrap model [one-off]

Last night I was trying to unwrap a model to make 4 small texture files. The progress bar went from the beginning to the end, and then it started over from the beginning. It did this several times and I went to bed and let it keep doing that. In the morning I have this. I tried to unwrap again just now and it worked fine, though.

Hi Aaron Curtis

Have you used any external application model for clean-up? Or it was inside RC (without reimport) and it crashed?

I didn’t use any external applications.

Hello,
the algorithm tries to find the best detail so that the overall unwrap will fit the texture size and textures count. It is not predictable because of the model dependent shape, number, and size of the charts. Therefore, it can happen that it repeats the process several times. I recommend to lower the gutter size to the value 2, or 1, and try again.
