Automatic UV unwrap and meaningful for a non-3D user

Davohadi

Hi,

I don't have much experience with unwrapping UV.

I need to unwrap the UV of a product.

I'm looking for a solution to unwrapping UV Automatically.

And, also I would like than the UV map is meaningful for a non-3D user.

So he can open the map into Photoshop to paint it and he will not need to take of the distortion you can have when you paint on an UVmap.

And to make my question harder, it will be nice if I can run it on a Mac

Any Suggestion?

Thank you

Davoud

You won't be able to get a good readable result with only automatic, you need to control where the seams go, the orientation of the islands and their relative positions. Since it sounds like you don't want to learn an entire 3d package, try out Headus UV, can do all of these things in a very simple interface http://www.uvlayout.com/ and is compatible natively with Mac.
