Relax UVW in 3ds max 7 sucks?
I'm playing with the demo of max7, and am evaluating whether the UV relax function is usable for us. It looks like the function is relaxing the verts only in UV space, and disregarding the XYZ positions... so I can't get a decent result with it. Relax before and after. It should be pushing the green UV edge outwards, to… -

I have yet to see a relax tool that doesn't completely mutilate the UV layout. I always seem to wind up spending an extra hour or so fixing up all the hideous distortion that relax leaves behind. -

I know, they've had about 3 years and versions of the program to make a working Relax UV's tool, and have totally failed. I'm sure it can't be too hard to make one that matches Maya's features.

I have heard grumblings of separate advanced UV apps in the works, so we'll see. But Daddy I want it NOW! Well, I did just find I can trick DeepUV into working with Editable Poly. Once it imports back, I stick a Turn To Mesh modifier below the Deep UV modifier and the coords pop into place. The >1 UV channels were…
