Features:

UVLayout is a stand-alone application for the creation and editing of UV coordinates for 3D polymeshes and subdivision surfaces. Used by professionals in the games and visual effects industries, by hobbyists of all ilks and by students, UVLayouts unique approach gives texture artists the tools they need to produce high quality low distortion UVs in significantly less time than they would by traditional methods. UVLayout uses a dynamics based algorithm to flatten 3D geometry, along seams cut by the user, creating low distortion UVs for Poly or SUBD surfaces. It also supports the importing of geometry with existing UVs so they can be reflattened into these low distortion layouts. Originally developed as part of CySlice, UVLayout can now be run stand-alone, usable by anyone wanting to create UVs. Using UVLayout could be described as the opposite of dress making; instead of cutting out a flat pattern and sewing that up to make clothing, in UVLayout the object is cut into pieces that are then flattened out to make the pattern. These flattened UV shells are not just planar projections; a dynamics based algorithm is used to spread the UVs out, as you watch, so that theres minimal stretching, compression or skewing of textures when theyre applied to the object.
