[igor.p]

UV-Packer 2.0 (www.uv-packer.com) represents the perfection of simplicity and performance for uv map packing: it is a single click solution for packing all UV-Parts of your object in the best possible way.

You no longer need to spend hours moving, rotating and scaling your maps in order to utilize the whole mapping area – UV-Packer does it for you in a second.

3d-io has just released the major update of UV-Packer. It comes parallel to the ever more growing popularity and usage of UV tile workflow in Mari, Zbrush, Mudbox and Modo. To meet the expectations of texturing artists, 3d-io has leveled up UV-Packer with a set of functions for optimal and fast UV tile creation workflow.
