Maintaining similar texel density across all modular meshes helps to prevent & minimize texture inconsistencies. This way textures appear at same level of detail across all meshes. This avoids texture on some meshes looking blurry & stretched while others look detailed & sharp.

Yes, I would need email that was used to buy PDF guide so I can look it up. If you don't have access to that email, then I'd still need old email to find it, as well as order details (last name used) to verify it then I could send future updated guide to new email.

Very common you'll mess up your current Maya workspace to something you didn't want. And NOT know how to get it back. Happens so often w/easy solution. Go Windows > Workspaces > Reset to Factory Settings. This resets to default, get everything back & any custom shelves stay.
