MAx was so monstrously awful, slow and crashy around 2008 Blender had been a huge win, especially in UV department, even before all its new cool things and new UI.…

There are a lot of edge cases that pop up where they don't work as expected, that you have to take into account.…

Almost at mudbox level already. EEVEE is great. Unwrapper is garbage, but so is max unwrapper. Some legacy stuff still feels…

And i suspect that the blender devs have no idea of the state of blender when it comes to polymodeling, the improvements to basic polymodeling tools are so few and so far apart, and they usually depend upon…
