Symmetric UV Edition

Unfold3D provides a full set of powerfull UV editing features
taking care of symmetry if present :

• translation/rotation/scaling
• pinning, with possibility of realtime mesh update
• vertical and horizontal constraints
• Stamper/Cropper for multi-res meshes

Edges marking

Unfold3D got powerful tools to select edges to be cut. With "edge to edge" tool , you can simply select a first edge by SHIFT+left-clicking and select a second edge by ALT+left-clicking, Unfold3D will find the shortest path beetween the two edges.

You will find here more powerful tools to select edges.

Mesh unwrapping

After you marked edges and cut them with , simply press and Unfold3D gives you a high quality uv layout with low distortion. Unfold3D just got the best unwrapping algorithm at the moment. Wish to verify this ? Just have a look to interviews.

Surface adjust

When you wish to reduce stretching, just press and the following buttons to reduce stretching on your mesh. See also user manual pages.

Optimized packing

When dealing with complicated meshes, positionning of all mesh parts often turns into headache. Unfold3D can do this for you by testing all possible positions and orientations for each part. Note that this algorithm is NOT a "bounding boxed algorithm", the border of each chart is taken into account to minimize wasted space ! See also user manual pages.
