3d-io, renowned for its innovative 3D software solutions, has introduced Unwrella-IO, a standalone application designed to streamline the UV unwrapping process for 3D artists and designers. Building upon the technology of its predecessors—Unwrella plugins for 3ds Max and Maya—Unwrella-IO offers a platform-independent solution for efficient UV map generation.
Key Features of Unwrella-IO:
- Automated UV Unwrapping: Unwrella-IO enables users to generate optimized, distortion-free UV maps with a single click, significantly reducing manual effort.
- Hard Surface Unwrapping: Tailored for mechanical and architectural models, this mode ensures precise UVs with sharp edges and minimal seams.
- Organic Unwrapping: Ideal for characters and natural forms, it produces smooth UVs with optimal seam placement.
- Mosaic Unwrapping: Designed for complex or chaotic topologies, this mode efficiently unfolds intricate 3D surfaces.
- Advanced UV Packing: The application incorporates sophisticated UV packing technology to minimize wasted space, ensuring efficient texture mapping.
- User-Friendly Interface: With an intuitive design, Unwrella-IO offers a seamless experience, allowing artists to focus on creativity without being bogged down by technical complexities.
Unwrella-IO is currently available for Windows 10 and above, with a macOS version slated for future release. The software is offered under a perpetual licensing model, eliminating recurring subscription fees. An Artist version is priced at €199, while a Studio package, which includes five seats, is available for €799.
