When creating or using a texture map, a 3D model needs UVs. These are
2D coordinates that tell all 3D applications how to apply a texture to
your model. Until now, the process of creating those UVs has been a
time consuming challenge that requires a high level of technical
expertise and has little room for creativity.
UV Master is a free plugin which will create very efficient UVs for
your models with a single click. Any artist can now quickly and easily
create excellent UV maps. This free ZBrush plugin clearly represents
the ZBrush ideal of maximum artistic freedom with minimal technical
hurdles!
With UV Master's cutting-edge technology you can leave all the
technical work to the computer. Because the UV maps generated by the
plugin can be in one UV island you will be able to understand your
modelís UVs in any 2D image editor and paint or edit them like you
would do with manually unwrapped UVs. Amazingly, what needs mere
minutes with UV Master could take hours in other dedicated solutions!
Just load your model, click Unwrap and you're done! If you need more control over this automatic process, use the Control
Painting mode to restrict seams creation in specific areas of your
model or paint areas which will attract seams. Just a few broad strokes
will add more power to the process with minimal effort.
In
addition, UV Master's density mode lets you define areas where you need
more or less pixel space for your texture -- without the need to
locally scale or stretch your UVs by hand. For example you can give
more density to the face and less on the back by simply painting the
areas before clicking Unwrap!
