About UV Master
UV Master is a new free plugin for ZBrush 3.5 R3 Windows and above or for ZBrush3.2 GoZ Mac OS X which will generate UV coordinates for your ZBrush models in a single click.
When using a 2D map with a 3D model, the model must have UVs, which are 2D coordinates needed for your texture to display accurately on your model. UV Master creates the necessary UV seams,then unwraps and packs the UVs to make best use of the texture area. The result is an optimized UV map which is understandable to the human eye allowing work on the corresponding texture in a 2D painting software like Photoshop.
Using the Plugin
Using this plugin is easy, fast and efficient and will reduce UV creation to a few seconds and a couple of clicks. The process is by default fully automatic but there are options to enhance the UV map generation such as the Polygroups option or the Control Painting feature.
Advanced Features
As UV Master uses advanced Unwrap algorithms, if you wish you can create your seams in a different application (and optionally do a basic unwrap to create the UVshells), and then use the plugin to generate new and fully optimized UVs.
With UV Master, you will be more productive and your time previously lost in manual UV editing will be available for more painting or sculpting!
