Unwrap Pro 1.0 for 3ds Max released

obliviboy

Unwrap Pro is a 3ds Max plugin which unwraps meshes while producing low distortion, overlap free, weighted density UVs unlike the 3ds Max Peel command which produces overlapping UVs with high area distortion.
It is very fast (a 1 million triangle mesh was unwrapped in 23 seconds). It is easy to use (just select some UVs and hold down a button).
Unwrap Pro will not add seams or pack UVs for you.

Impressive, liking the weighted density especially. ADSK should buy this off of you quickly, in order to beef up their meagre '2018 update list

no thanks, I'd much prefer Marius to be deving his own tools.

cheers Miaau, will definitely get this.

This is super nice, great job!!

Looks terrific! While we are still cursed with flattening meshes this looks like an important addition.

Looking at this again, you've done a fantastic job with great features. The relaxing algorithm is as good as any I've seen/used. Now all we need from your wizardry is a packing toolset.

Haha! Don't know how I made that mistake. I've been using their scipts/plugs for years!

Looks awesome! Is there MaxScript access? This is something we need to batch all the time for lightmapping.

Yes, there is Maxscript access. You can use the MacroRecorder to find how to edit all the parameters and to push the Unwrap button you just need to write $.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW].UnwrapProData.rlt_params.runUnwrap false

I made a video testing it on hard surface models https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owH-hSzT-wM

Oh man this looks great!  Pity I've gone to the dark side and use Maya at work now.  

You've got a tonne of cool scripts that would be great in Maya to improve the under-developed modelling tools - are you going to continue to focus on Max or is there any chance of  Maya ports of some of these ever?

Great job Marius
