UV Mapping Made Easy

If you have a model in Maya you'll know it's a chore to get a good UV map. Maya's UV mapping tool has improved a lot from the original versions, but they're still not as fast as we'd all like them to be. I found this amazing Mel script for UV mapping by Hidra | lab. The Pelting Tools Mel script is great for organic UV mapping. I find it works great for tough to UV map animals like bears. You can download the script here:

Or on HighEnd3D here:

After downloading this tool you'll be amazed at how many uses for it you'll find.
