Pointcloud Meshing with Seperations, pt2

I spent a day building a low poly model for the smoker deck environment. I UV unwrapped everything, then imported everything (as a combined .obj file) into Zephyr. I followed my documented steps from before on reprojecting.
The results? Lots of issues. I am kind of frustrated.

I have to remind myself that a lot of these steps won't look "right" until then end when I delight + bake normals. But still... this looks reminiscent of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark era, poorly plastered textures projected onto simple geometry.

Next I am going to try importing + reprojecting each piece individually. I hope this creates more accurate texture and resolves a lot of the issues that were created by overlapping textures.

Troubleshooting notes:
(aka me thinking out loud)

1. Manual retopo created more issues
• separating exports did not seem to help. the geo was just too different for a proper reprojection
• the pipe looked really good however. maybe because it was simple enough? maybe I just matched it better
2. Zbrush Dynamesh creates 100 diff shells and sometimes even causes Zephyr to crash.
• why does it break up the geo? and it only sometimes happens?
• check export settings. 
• Meshmixer is also useful but only makes tris
• I want quads so I can easily unwrap
3. Go back to point based rendering?
• but then how do you de-light? 
• how do you do anything with points, really
4. Some assets look correct... 
• the pipe looks awesome
