I need to unwrap this shape and I have problems with triangle holes in it.
How can I unwrap this overlapping edges without stretching my whole UV map?

$\begingroup$ Completely cut out the interior 'X' (add seams), and make it a '+' by rotating it. Perhaps better, split up each part of the 'X' into 'IIII' to make them even bigger. $\endgroup$– JakeDSep 5, 2016 at 11:34

$\begingroup$ @pycoder - resizing parts of a mesh's uv is only then a good idea if those parts use separate materials. Same material -> streching -> looks weird. $\endgroup$– metaphor_setSep 5, 2016 at 11:53

$\begingroup$ What do you mean by stretching? I said basically the same thing that you just said in your answer...more seams = less stretching! $\endgroup$– JakeDSep 5, 2016 at 12:13

$\begingroup$ @pycoder - I thought by "make them even bigger" you were refering to resizing UV islands. $\endgroup$– metaphor_setSep 5, 2016 at 12:52

I would cut out the whole "X section" and cut off two of the legs.

$\begingroup$ @Delinx - The fastest way to create the different colors for the UVs were three different colored materials. So I switched to Material Viewport (Blender Internal) and put a Hemi light into the scene. $\endgroup$ Sep 5, 2016 at 18:13
