Introducing UV Sandbox

UV Sandbox is a Blender add-on that brings a playful, physics-driven twist to UV editing. It transforms the UV Editor into an interactive playground where you can move, shuffle, and simulate UV islands with ease. Perfect for experimenting with layouts or adding a bit of fun to your workflow, UV SandBox makes UV manipulation intuitive and engaging.

What It Does

UV Sandbox lets you manipulate UV islands like objects in a 2D physics sandbox. Drop them to watch them fall, collide, and bounce, or drag them into place for precise control. With a sleek interface, you can toggle simulations, adjust physics settings, and randomize layouts, all while keeping your UVs organized and editable.

Key Features

Physics-Powered UVs: Simulate gravity and collisions for UV islands, creating dynamic, organic layouts.

Interactive Controls: Drag islands to reposition, select multiple with a simple click, and see clear highlights for hovered or selected islands.

Smart Interface: Toggle a side panel with buttons to play/pause simulations, shuffle islands, and fine-tune physics settings like gravity.

Visual Feedback: Bold outlines highlight your focus, making it easy to track your work.

User-Friendly Access: Launch effortlessly from the UV Editor’s sidebar or a quick shortcut.

Why UV Sandbox?

UV Sandbox blends creativity with functionality, offering a fresh way to explore UV mapping. Whether you’re tweaking layouts or just playing with physics, it’s a lightweight tool that sparks inspiration. Built for Blender’s latest versions, it’s stable, open-source, and ready to enhance your UV workflow.
