AFAIK the only official plugin is for Maya. That said, I think the one for Soft is rock solid.
One feature not mentioned yet, and one that I really find useful, is the repaint module. Basically let's you bake existing textures for a different UV, onto a new one, and the cool thing is it supports multiple tiles. Very useful feature honestly. Also, you can set polygon clusters from within Soft and UV Layout will read them as groups. This way you can set up your main "chunks" of polygons and just add a couple of cuts here and there. IMO the best UV app out there with tons of features. Except of course, its UI. On Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 2:34 AM, Sofronis Efstathiou < sefstath...@bournemouth.ac.uk> wrote: > That's excellent news.
