ZBrush UVMaster Plugin veröffentlicht!

Pixologic is proud to announce the release of UV Master, a plugin for ZBrush 3.2 Mac and ZBrush 3.5R3 WIN.

With UV Master , you can quickly create high quality and artist-friendly UV maps. It's as simple as 1-2-3

1. Select your model's lowest subdivision level.
2. Click UV Master's Unwrap button.
3. Actually, there is no step 3. You're done!

UV Master will unwrap your model's UVs in a way that's easily understood by the human eye and without texture distortion. It's incredibly fast, with results so clean that you can paint on the unwrapped model in a 2D image editor of your choice. (This includes ZBrush's 2.5D canvas.)

UV Master was also built with several innovative features to help control its automated UV creation. It can:

Use your model's polygroups to create UV islands. In this way you can for example unwrap the face separately from the rest of the body. Or have different texture space for the inner and outer surfaces.
Use Control Painting to protect parts of the model from UV seams and attract them toward places where they'll be out of sight. For example, a couple brush strokes can move the unwrap seams to a model's back where they will be out of sight. This is ideal for normal maps, which are typically very sensitive to UV seams.
You can also use Control Painting to change how the UVs make use of the available texture space. If your model's face is where most of the detail needs to be, a single stroke with the paint brush can tell UV Master to give it more texture pixels.

UV Master can even combine any or all of these options, giving you remarkable control while saving hours of tedious work. UV Master will free you from the labor of creating UVs, giving you more time to release the Artist inside you and focus on your sculpting and texturing!
