- Ama$ing !ive Unwrap select your edges and see the result
realtime
- +or*s on any primitive .o more editable poly restriction
- /ac*ing functionality added
- &eams can be edited inside uvwunwap modifier
- &ubob0ect unwrapping
- (ap seam flags are preserved within instanced unwrap
- Instanced unwrap over multiple ob0ects

User Interface
Add UVWUnwrap: adds U5+Unwrap modifier to selected ob0ect
Edit Seams allows to select the seams by clic*ing on the
edge
Point to Point Seam advanced selection tool, also used in the
3dsmax peltmap Allows to select a loop of seams within 6
vertexes
Ede Sel to Seam converts a selected group of edges into
seams
S!ow Peel Seams hides or shows the seams
Anle "ased # $onformal these are the two processes used
byXRayUnwrap for the automated unwrapping 'he process needs to
beselected according to the structure of the meshes 7enerally Angle
1asedwor*s better with &oft &urfaces, while #onformal wor*s
better with 8ard&urfaces
%ill !oles prevents from internal overlaps
"leed since we introduced a tool for /ac*ing, 1leed is very
useful tomanage the border space between different isles and better
optimi$e the/ac*ing process 1leed can be used also with the !ive
option on, to chec*the best result realtime
Pac& U's allows to arrange isles to maximi$e the number of
pixels perpolygon on a texture 'his tool is very useful to arrange
isles of differentmodels on a single texture
(i'e Unwrap this is the real goody of this new XRayUnwrap 299
'hisuseful tool allows to chec* results of the unwrap realtime,
while tracing theseams 'his algorithm computes the cut over the
mesh allowing to chec* ifthe unwrap opens in the right way
Unwrap starts the computation
