Hi,
What do you guys think it's better as texture resolution for tree trunks? Square or rectangular?
For example: 4096*4096 or 1024*4096
I'm working on something, but can't figure out what's the best approach here.

I often use my own photo's for texture, after tiling them, and they are sometimes very high/long to get less repetition of the height of a trunk. Which, by the way, I also tackle by merging a few textures by world PF. So I'd say rectangular for tree trunks, your latter values. Of which I don't know if it would make much difference if it's 4096 or 4000, would it?
Makes sense. It's what I was thinking too. To have a taller texture to get less repetition. I just wasn't sure if there's more like a standard to have square textures.
Btw... I'm making my own textures to, now. I just needed to know this before I finish it up ;)
The model to the left is photoscanned by me and the two on the right are just cylinders with the baked textures on to test how it looks.

Looks good. The plus of photoscanning is that you have an encompassing/cylindrical texture, not like a flat photo used 2-3 times around a trunk.
Exactly ;D
So the "diameter" (or what should I say) is perfect. No need to create seams there. Only top to bottom.
