New features in the latest version of Polygonal Design’s UV unwrapping software include:
- New 64bit Unfolding core that can unwrap very big meshes
(up to a million triangles). - Major improvement for “dirty meshes” when importing OBJ. Now it solves complex
topology errors and write them into the OBJ files at export. - Multi UV grid Pack. Each island is packed into the
underlying square. - Multi UV grid Select. In island selection mode, a click
into square label selects all islands inside the square. - Multi
UV grid Best Fit and Squarify. In island selection mode, the selected
islands are best fitted / squared into the underlying square. - Select Borders – will select each edges of the
frontiers of selected islands. - Select Similar Islands – will select other islands having
the same topology. - Align points – will align the selected points (no
constraints). - Parallelize/Verticalize/Horitalize edges – on selected
edges (no constraints). - Island Green Display – the green color now designates the
islands that will be unfolded in the next click on “Unfold” button. - Faster selection of edges (up to 20 times faster).
- The orientation of islands in 3D are kept in UV when
Packing (see the packing options dialog).
