I give Headus UVLayout a big thumbs up! Phil Dench (man behind the magic) is a wizard. I asked for a better edge tagging solution where you could simply click and drag in the viewport to make cuts and he implemented it in a day, even added in predictive tagging. I asked about locking UVs to specific tiles and he came up with a whole system to handle that in a week. Don’t be fooled by or put off by the UI (and web presence) – it is very powerful and he is constantly making fixes and updates.
I told him numerous times about the UI but he likes it. He also has a tool called Cyslice which is awesome but I don’t think he actively develops it. -Nick From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin Yara Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 11:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Headus UV Layout I've only tried Headus UV Layout a little in Trial Mode and it seems quite powerful but a little difficult to get used to it's GUI and workflow. Almost like Zbrush, if you stop using it for a few months you'll have to re-study it. Have anyone tried Unfold 3D? The unfold standalone version. I like the built-in unfold Softimage has but it is pretty basic like the old Roadkill, so I was wondering how was the full version. I guess I'll have to try the demo. BTW, good thing Maya will have Unfold in the next version. That would make it a little less painful.
