Settings

Includes the following popular (and new) algorithms:

• Edge Angle - Creates seams in areas with sharp angles (good for hard-surface).
• Random - Creates a set number of islands (good for quick n' dirty unwraps).
• Individual - Splits each face into it's own island (good for fast 'sticky' coordinates).
• Planar - Projects directly from X,Y, or Z (good for terrains, walls, and flat surfaces).
• Box - Finds UV's based on normal direction (good for evenly texturing objects).
• Cylinder - Also known as the Mercator Projection from X,Y, or Z directions (good for maps, and cylindrical objects).
• Sphere - Polar coordinates based on X,Y, or Z poles (good for planets, hdris, etc).

Tutorial

Installation

Install UV+ just like any other addon. Drag the .zip right into Blender and hit confirm. UV+ will then show up in the 3D viewport N-Panel. Make sure to use Blender 4.4 or newer.
