 During [[expstaticmesh|static mesh exporting]] when you enable the option "Unwrap UVs", you will be presented with an additional dialog that gives you control over the unwrapping of the tree into a texture atlas or UDIM. "Unwrapping" the tree means to put each separate "chunk" of a material used into one large texture, though you can control whether different chunks can share space or not to avoid texture resolution problems. During [[expstaticmesh|static mesh exporting]] when you enable the option "Unwrap UVs", you will be presented with an additional dialog that gives you control over the unwrapping of the tree into a texture atlas or UDIM.

 +The same tree can be exporting in many different ways to accomplish different things post-export. The best texture resolution when unwrapping can be obtained by stacking everything. 
 +
 +Another common export is when you wish to sculpt a trunk in a third-party application. In this case you would want branches and caps completely unwrapped into unique UVs, but everything else could still stack to save on texture resolution. 
 +
 +And finally if you wish to have complete freedom when painting on a tree mesh, you could unwrap everything into a completely unique UV mapping.
