Unlike traditional dressmaking techniques, UVLayout cuts objects into pieces and flattens them out to create a pattern. These flattened UV shells are optimized to minimize stretching, compression, and skewing of textures when applied to the object. The process of using UVLayout is straightforward.

First, the user defines the UV seams at the beginning, middle, and end of the object. Then, UVLayout flattens the object, providing distortion feedback in a checkered and textured format. The final result is a flawlessly unwrapped and organized UV layout.

UVLayout is packed with useful features. It supports OBJ import and export, making it compatible with various 3D applications. The software includes edge-loop detection for quicker selection of UV seams, symmetry editing for faster flattening of symmetrical meshes, and color feedback for instant evaluation of distortion errors.

Additionally, UVLayout offers edge straightening, flattening brushes for local tweaks, and automatic packing and stacking of UV shells to optimize texture space usage. The software also provides unlimited undo functionality and a plugin interface for seamless integration into other applications.
