Best UV relaxing tools?
Any have experience with a great tool for relaxing UV maps? I've heard of Deep UV and maybe there's some great freeware I'm missing out on? I use the relax tool in the 3dsMax unwrap modifier so far... Thanks for your time. -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
uvLayout, anything else compared by it is just poor in performance, features and workflow including all specific UV tools that are on the market. But if you are just after relaxing its not worth the hefty price,- maybe then instead go with Roadkill, existing max/maya relaxing tools or like mentioned above the Crazy… -

uvlayout gits my vote as well. renderhjs: have u tried blender's relax? ( I am hoping for a cheap alternative to headus. ) -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
UVLayout ftw. Well worth the money for me. Not only one of the best unwrapping methods, but also several options for relaxing by uv chunk/island or brushes for doing localized tweaks and stuff. The UI is one of my favorite aspects of the tool. Heavily shortcut and mouse driven, which I like. -

Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
I use 3dsmax too, I've tried out a few tools but in the end I pretty much stick to max. HeadusUV (not free, wonky interface has some cool tools but really not worth it IMHO) http://www.headus.com/au/uvlayout/ Crazy Butchers LSCM Unwrap (Great script) http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/ArtTools/3dsmax -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
Yeah it is one of those rare specialized tools that is fully justified in being a separate app. It does so much that it needs to be a separate program so that the UI can be fully focused on everything it is capable of. I love all the pinning and edge constraint stuff too! Great for all kinds of uses other than just organic… -
