Update UV Tools

[Anonymous]

The recent 3dsMax updates have been great! 

I feel like it's time to update the UV interface and tools. Maya's UV Editor is amazing. Good UI, good tools and a very smooth user experience. 3dsMax UV's feel like made in 1995. They get the job done but are extremely clunky.

I hope to see updates to the UV interface, it would help a great deal! Looking at the recent updates, I'm sure Autodesk can come up with something great.

Thank you!

It is also very important to improve the parking algorithms

what is on the roadmap? I see nothing suggesting or hinting at UI changes

In the meantime, for the UI part at least Ive made an illustrated idea some time ago. Pls vote on that too 

[UV Editor ] A more clean, tidy and fresh UI like the new Maya one - Autodesk Community

And please add a simple Select tool so you can select UV components wthout the risk of nudging positions!

even after the Unfold algorithm, UV editor and modifier interface still needs to be revamped and cleaned up

Yep, just attempt to transfer all the current Maya UV Toolkit layout and functionality to 3ds Max, I know the scripting language is different, but Maya has probably the most powerful out of the box UV editor of all DCC's. Also take inspiration from some of the powerful Maya UV third party plugins (Malcolm341 UV tools, or Textools for blender/max is a good example), and add this kind of easy to use compact interface out of the box as well. Please look at some of the great Blender addons as inspiration too.

The template is there, it just needs to be invested upon Autodesk.
