UV Tools¶
- Select
Select or moved.
- Select Box
Select UVs by dragging a box.
- Select Circle
Select UVs by painting on it.
- Select Lasso
Select UVs by drawing a lasso.
- Cursor
Change the location of the 3D Cursor.
- Move
Translation tool.
- Rotate
Rotation tool.
- Scale
Scale tool.
- Transform
Tool to adjust the UVs translation, rotations and scale.
- Annotate
Draw free-hand annotation.
- Annotate Line
Draw straight line annotation.
- Annotate Polygon
Draw a polygon annotation.
- Annotate Eraser
Erase previous drawn annotations.
- Grab
The Grab brush moves UVs around.
- Relax
The Relax brush makes UVs more evenly distributed. The algorithm relies on space, not stretch minimization, so most probably a minimize stretch will have to be run for optimal results. However it is great to use after stitching islands, or when unwrap produces cluttered results to smooth the distribution of UVs.
- Relaxation Method
There are two relax algorithms:
Laplacian, HC
- Pinch
The Pinch brush moves UVs toward the brush’s center. The pinch brush can be inverted by pressing Ctrl-LMB.
