UV Tools 3.2c

UV SIZE

UV square size. If real-world mode is enabled then spinner will be inactive.

UV size defines size of square in mapping procedures. For example: 500mm means mapping 500x500mm relative to geometry.

Add UV size by step.

Default step is 500 units. If UV size was 330mm and you click + then UV size change to 500mm, then 1000mm, 1500mm etc.

Step can be adjusted in UV Tools Settings.

Right Click: Substract size by step.

Rotate UV +90°.

If Invert Rotate in Settings is enabled then UV will be rotated to -90 degrees (texture in viewport will rotate to +90 degrees).

Ctrl+Click: Rotate by element.

Rotate UV -90°.

If Invert Rotate in Settings is enabled then UV will be rotated to +90 degrees (texture in viewport will rotate to -90 degrees).

Ctrl+Click: Rotate by element.

Flip Horizontally.

Shift+Left Click: Flip to Left. Use left border as mirror axis.

Shift+Right Click: Flip to Right. Use right border as mirror axis.

Ctrl+Click: Flip by element.

Flip Vertically.

Shift+Left Click: Flip Up. Use top border as mirror axis.

Shift+Right Click: Flip Down. Use bottom border as mirror axis.

Ctrl+Click: Flip by element.

Orient elements horizontally based on their length.

Shift+Click: Orient vertical.

Rotate elements by selected edges with automatic orientation.

If edge is more horizontal then vertical then element will be aligned horizontally.

Shift+Click: Force rotate to Vertical.

Ctrl+Click: Force rotate to Horizontal.

Weld selected UV vertices by distance between them. Vertices just moved to one position without actual welding.

Right Click: Get maximum distance between selected vertices and put value to Distance Threshold spinner.

Pack inside texture Tile.

Right Click: Pack Setup.

Type: Linear, Recursive or Non-Convex pack method.

Spacing: Space between elements.

Rescale: Normalize elements. Make texel density of elements the same.

Fill Holes: Fill holes with smaller elements.

Pack Together (without scaling UV to texture Tile).

Right Click: Pack Setup. Same as Pack in Tile.

Distribute elements evenly between minimul and maximum from selected.

Ctrl+Click: Distribute with align.

Sort elements Horizontally by Height.

Right Click: Sort in reverse order.

Sort elements Vertically by Width.

Right Click: Sort in reverse order.

Select similar uv elements. Selection based on element topology and geometry area.

Value in Similar spinner is area similarity. 1.0 means exactly the same area, 0.0 means that area will be ignored.

Multiple selection is allowed.

Stack similar uv elements. Move all similar elements to one position.

Shift+Click: Stack outside tile. Secondary elements will be moved to next texture tile (+1 by U axis) to prevent overlap with main elements. Usable for texture baking of stacked elements.

Ctrl+Click: Stack and Group elements. Unwrap Groups are used here. Each group could be Packed as one element.

Right Click: Ungroup selected elements.

Move Right (U +1).

Right Click: Move Left (U -1).

Move Top (V +1).

Right Click: Move Bottom (V -1).

Offset mapping by U or V axis.

Shift+Drag: Swap axis.

Scale mapping by U or V axis.

Shift+Drag: Swap axis.

ROTATE

ACCURACY

Offset accuracy multiplier.

Offset value will be multiplied by this factor. Auto mode works well in most cases.

Invert transform direction.

On: For viewport.

Off: For UV editor.

Enable Scale and Rotate from zero point (0,0 uv coordinates).

On: Scale and Rotate from zero point.

Off: Scale and Rotate from center.

Keep elements in texture tile. UV will be scaled to fit texture.

This option helps to avoid seams when using non-seamless textures.

Use absolute values instead of random value from range.

For example: Rotate value is 90. Regular randomizer will rotate elements by random values between -90 and +90 (-53, 47, 13, etc.). Step randomizer will use only -90 or +90 values only.

Spread elements in multiple stacks Horizontally in random order. Number of stacks controlled by spinner value.

Each stack will try to contain the same number of elements.

Create flat object that represents object mapping. Copy object and morph to UV.

Shift+Click: Repack before creating flat object. May be slow on high-poly.

Switch display Morpher objects as box.

Morpher 1 channel value.

Add Skin Wrap modifiers to selected objects with nearest morpher in list.

Ctrl+Click: Pick Morpher object manually.

Shift+Click: Add disabled Skin Wrap modifiers.

Cut selected objects to Morpher borders.

Ctrl+Click: Pick cut object manually.

Hide selected elements. Only for EditablePoly.

Ctrl+Click: Hide selected polygons.

Righ Click: Unhide all polygons.

Transfer subobject selection between Unwrap and EditablePoly. Selection will be sent to nearest valid modifier. If no valid modifiers are found, then new modifier will be added automatically. Check "Geometry Tools" video.

Shift+Click: Search valid modifiers only above current modifier. Send selection Up the stack.

Ctrl+Click: Search valid modifiers only below current modifier. Send selection Down the stack.

Alt+Click: Don't search and send selection to new modifier. Can be combined with Shift/Ctrl.

Righ Click: Open Transfer Selection dialog.

Current modifier is marked by <<<.

You can send selection to modifiers that marked by >>>.

If current modifier is Unwrap, then you can send selection to Edit Poly and Editable Poly and vice versa.

Create new modifier:

Send selection to new modifier. Modifier will be added above selected item in list.

Keep current selection:

Transfered selection will be added to current selection.

Size

Set tiling in selected textures based on entered size and Unwrap selection.

Textures should be selected in Material Editor.

Convert real-world mapping to regular.

Real-World in object textures will be disabled and tilings/offsets will be setup in order to match previous real-world scale.

UV will be scaled to fit texture Tile.

Ctrl+Click: Scale UV to maximum real-world texture size.

Restore Map Channel 1 if Channel is not found in current modifier.

Save current Unwrap modifier setup as Default.

All options from modify panel will be saved and used for new Unwrap modifiers that you create by pressing Add button.
