UV Relax and Pack

Use

There are four quick relax tools to minimize distortion by pinning the edges of the selection and relaxing the interior points. The tools are the following:

  • Knead Even: Smooths UVs evenly

  • Knead Aligned: Smooths UVs by aligning them flat with the map

  • Knead Hybrid: Smooths UVs using a combination of kneading evenly and alignment

  • Relax: Adjusts the shape and size of the selected polygons to match the model geometry
