Framing
Object fills frame
60%
How much of the frame's width the object spans at its tightest shot.
Output
Texel target
Oversampling guards against close-ups, mip blur and compression. 1.5x is the safe default.

Pro Tips
Match the tightest shot. Size your maps for the closest the camera ever gets. Pull-back shots are forgiving.
Power of two matters. GPUs mip and compress 2^n maps cleanly. Stick to 512, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K.
Split the UVs. If one map is not enough, give hero areas their own UV tile rather than one giant texture.
Do not over-spec. 8K on a background prop just wastes memory and bake time. Match density to the shot.
