Description

Advanced UV Normalizer (AUVN) is a tool for normalizing the Texel Density across different objects.

It has a comprehensive set of features to calculate, get, set and modify the Texel Density of your models based on different parameters such as Geometry Area, Texture Area, UV Area as well as the Geometry/Pixels and Geometry/UVs Ratios.

The Texel Density can be set using a fixed texture size, or you can assign different AUVN textures and normalize them all at once using their texture size.

Upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 might lead to an issue where our tools don't load automatically. This could be due to a bug in 3ds Max or Windows, which prevents 3ds Max from loading scripts from the user’s startup folder and macroscripts. If you're experiencing this problem, please contact us.

Hi! Great script! Is there any way to change default settings?

PolyTools3D · 2014-05-03

@trueman,

Sorry for the late reply, but I just saw it. I've got some requests to change the default settings and save them, so I might be updating it in the future.

Thank you!
