New Auto UVs Modifier: Simplifying UV Unwrapping
Say goodbye to the complexities of UV unwrapping for tons of model types with our newest addition: the Auto UVs modifier. Simply apply it to your model and choose a layout method, and your object's UVs will update in real-time while you model. This is especially useful for buildings and mechanical objects that mostly just need a repeating material tile applied in a logical way, especially with our updated Planar Regions unwrapping algorithm (and the option to orient and scale it using world coordinates).
Other Updates and Bug Fixes
As with every update there are also several bug fixes and workflow improvements also added to this version of Silo. Check out the feature list below.
- New Auto UVs modifier automatically applies one of several UV unwrapping methods in real-time as you model
- Improved the Planar Regions UV layout method, including a new option to orient the UVs to world coordinates (so the bottom edge of texture maps will be oriented to the world -Y axis)
- Improved material assignment on new faces when extruding faces and edges or using the Shell command
- Added “Open Edges Only” option to Extrude modifier and Extrusion Object Options
- Made “Arrange UVs in Bounds” not rotate UV islands
