Pelt Mapping in Maya

K17020

Anyone have any good plug-ins for Maya that enables pelt mapping ?
I know max has this feature built into it, but I want to strictly work in Maya atm.

if anyone has any idea or if you can send me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated

Don't think Maya has pelt mapping out of the box. Theres something similar called Unfold mapping, take a look in the help.

Have a look at this if you want a sweet UV tool with better unfolding imo.

Select the UVs you want to unfold. Hold down shift (or ctrl, don't remember wich) and select "Smooth UVs" box. Then you'll get two boxes wich you can 'pelt' by scrolling the Unfold box.

It's not as good as in Max but it's alright.
