Each separate object is segmented into a number of shells depending on each polys surface normal. Polys that are facing in a similar direction are kept together, but when the angle is too sharp, they're split apart. |

Increasing this angle will result in less fragmentation (i.e. fewer shells), but there will be more distortion in the resulting UVs and extra cuts or darts may need to be added. Reducing this angle will increase the fragmentation, and so more time will need to be spent welding them back together. |
