UV Tools - 'Automatic' Edge Align? - Max 2010-2011

Submitted by Ace-Angel on Thu, 2011-07-21 21:18

Hey to all,

I was wondering if it would be possible to create in a Max script that could almost automatically align the edges of a UV, so that they're straight.

In Max 2012, its called "Straighten Selection", under "reshape elements". Max 2011 and lower don't have this tool.

Basically, all I want to do is halfway down the page:

Thanks, will do.

There's a very good chance that I experienced MORE problems, then all the internet put together in the area of 3D and Design, and I'm inventing more of them as time passes; also good chance no one is able to solve them. Talk about being ori

Hey Brot,

I'm not sure, I use TexTools extensively, and the only thing which it has which comes close to Straighten Selection is Rectify, but that only works per face basis (EI: I cannot select more then one face, or else it deforms my mesh instead of straightening it).

UV Strip Straighter is exactly what I am looking for, thanks, but unfortunately, it only works on one strip of looped faces. If I select more then one loop of faces, it returns:

"Invalid Strip (3)"

So yeah, I was wondering if there was something like UV Strip Straightener, but not as limited.
