Stop losing hours to the UV Editor. Universal Hotspot UV revolutionizes how environment and hard-surface artists map textures by turning your 3D viewport into a direct drag-and-drop palette.
Built exclusively for Blender 4.0 up to 5.2, this add-on allows you to pull a visual "Atlas Mesh" into your scene, select a physical bolt, panel, or trim, and instantly stamp its exact UVs and Material onto any target object with perfect longest-edge alignment. No screen-space raycasting lag—just native, lightning-fast Multi-Object Edit Mode math.
🔥 Core Features:
The 3D Palette Workflow: Never look at a 2D UV grid again. Pick your trims directly from a 3D reference object right next to your model.
Flawless Auto-Alignment: The add-on automatically calculates local 2D tangent spaces, ensuring the longest edge of your 3D face perfectly matches the longest edge of your trim. Wood grains and metal streaks flow correctly every single time.
One-Click Material Transfer: When you stamp a UV, the add-on reads the source material and automatically appends and assigns it to your target faces on the fly.
Mass Randomization: Select 10 different bolts on your palette and 100 empty faces on your target. One click will randomly scatter the trims across all 100 faces, carrying over the specific materials and applying random 90-degree rotations to completely destroy texture repetition.
True Matrix Rotation: Manually step through 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations that respect your face's aspect ratio without skewing or stretching.
Compatibility: Blender 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2.
