New/Update: 3d-io Unwrella v4.01 is Now Available

3d-io has updated Unwrella, the one-click UV unwrapping and packing plugin for digital 3D art, with integrated “UV-Packer” technology, a new unwrapping mode, support for 3ds Max and Maya 2022 and more.

What’s New in Unwrella 4

The principal and the the most valuable improvement in Unwrella 4 is the completely new, advanced and superb UV packing features. Unwrella 4 comes with the integrated “UV-Packer” technology, allowing artists to manage massive geometry structures and turn them fast into optimally packed UV results.

3d-io also added a new unwrapping mode: UV-Projection.
There are countless cases in the production where an object is visible from only one side or from the fixed camera position. UV-Projection allows artist to generate UVs for the visible areas of the mesh – which means saving half of the UV space by not unwrapping the backsides of the object. The pixel and texture density gains immense quality boosts.

Support for 3dsMax 2022 and Maya 2022

Hundreds of fixes and improvements in the code for better compatibility, speed and quality.

Plus there’s also a hot fix:

Unwrella 3ds Max

• Improve Flatten unwrap for nonplanar polygons
• Autocorrect organic unwrap for polygons with defective edge data
• Improve accuracy for projection unwrap
• Add more accurate hole detection to find holes in charts that were previously left unfilled
• Improved reference handling for multi object unwrapping

Unwrella Maya

• Improve accuracy for projection unwrap
• Add more accurate hole detection to find holes in charts that were previously left unfilled
