Sure, I’ll indulge your speed test, but just so you know, freeform unwraps are a recipe for chaos, especially when texture quality matters. Let’s do a quick, clean layout: pull the seams to the edges, lock the anchor points, and then use the symmetry lock to mirror the layout. I’ll keep an eye on the texel density—if you’re too fast, you’ll get uneven texels, and that’s a no‑no for me. Ready to see a map that looks like a perfectly cut apple instead of a scribbled doodle?

Alright, let’s keep it tight. First, mark your seams along the edges so the UV islands sit flat against the canvas. Then use the symmetry lock—mirror each side so the apple’s halves match exactly. Grab the anchor point at the bottom tip and pin it, so the layout won’t drift. When you expand the islands, check the texel density; if it spikes, shrink the island a bit or tweak the scale. Keep the margin between islands at 1–2 texels—no more, no less. That’ll give you a clean, even texture. Once you’re happy, bake the mapping and look for any uneven rows; that’s where a quick tweak will keep the apple from looking like a pizza. Ready to test your speed? Just remember: speed is fine, but precision never stops.
