UV Relax Brush

Dylan Brady

I use 3ds max for UVing.
I really want a tool that works essentially like the Relax conform brush in the graphite modeling tools only in UV space; where you can set falloff, and amount of relax to do, all while using a round brush.

My question is, does anyone know of a tool that can do this? Preferably within 3ds max, but in any software really. I mostly just want to know if a tool like this exists, and if/how much it improves the UV workflow.

You can do it in max. Well sort of. Convert the UV channel to 3D plane and use the relax tools on it, than convert back. There are several maxscripts that convert uv 2 3d and backwards. You can even do it manually with Channel info tool.
