any smart cookies with advanced mathematics interested in tackling an algorithm that appears to give much higher quality than ABF++ for UV unwrapping?
Apparently using ISOMAP can give a drastic reduction in stretching, http://www.polygonal-design.fr/e_unfold/gen71.php and there are more advanced dimensional reduction techniques (including improvements on ISOMAP) that should give even better results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_dimensionality_reduction http://vodinhphong.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/resources-on-manifold-learning-1/ It would be good to reclaim our crown as providing the best quality initial unwrap :) As an asside, we should really consider seeking out some computer vision/computer learning/statistics folks since they are heavily into dimensionality reduction.
