Unwrapping >270M triangle+ model

I’m currently at the unwrapping stage of a large-ish project.  Initially, the Unwrap time estimate was ~ 1 hour but it’s now taken considerably more than that.  Does anyone know how long the process should take?  I’m concerned that I may have encountered a bug.

 

So this happened after about 4 hours of trying to unwrap :frowning:

Hi John,

that’s unfortunately something that happens quite often lately.

Have you tried simplifying the model considerably?

It might be caused by a geometrical problem in the mesh.

You could also try to delete parts of the mesh which might point you to the area with the problem…

Could you post your unwrap settings? You may be giving RC not enough texture space to work with…

Hello,

you can also try to use Unwrap settings mentioned here:

Hi Zuzana,

what is in your opinion better about those settings?

And I think it did not help the TO, if I am not mistaken…

It happened to me, too. 

Hello everyone,

would it be possible to upload your project along with images so we could reproduce your problem?
