Hello all.
first off this software is absolutely fantastic to say the least.
I know this is a rather weird request, but would it be possible to straighten all the uv edges into a perfect grid and then pack all the uv's on top of each other in the 1st uv slot going from 0 to 1 in space.
I have an example of how this would work (or what I need it for specifically) is unwrapping a tree and all its branches and leaves. So how I do it manually is I autoseam and cut the tree, then I unfold it like normal . Once the unfold is complete I rotate all of the branches so that the base of the branchs is at the bottom on the uv space and the tip of the branch is at the top of the uv space. then I edge align all the edges to make a straight grid. Once I have done all this I stretch the uv's over the whole uv slot and then I do the same for the leaves.
This isn't really an artistic feature request, its more of technical feature that I personally need for a tool I built in 3ds max. My tool uses the uv's as a way to measure and find the center of any object. It might be really useful to alot of people out there.
I provided screen shots of what I mean by using a simple teapot to explain visually what I mean.
Regards
Alex.
