Key Features of Zen UV 5.0.1.1:
Zen Gizmo: Precisely fit, flip, align, move, rotate, and scale UV Islands directly in both 3D View and the UV Editor.
Zen Relax: A specialized algorithm optimized for organic unwrapping, ensuring natural, distortion-free UVs.
Stack System: Organize UV Islands more efficiently by stacking or unstacking similar and different types.
World Orient: Align UV Islands based on the model’s orientation in world space for consistent mapping.
Quadrify: Straighten UV Islands made up of quads to create more structured UV layouts.
Trimsheet & Hotspot Mapping: Map UVs to trimsheets using precise tools that align based on area, tags, world size, and more.
Zen Unwrap: Intelligent unwrapping that respects context such as seams and sharp edges, enhancing accuracy.
Transform System: Access detailed control for moving, scaling, rotating, flipping, sorting, and aligning UV elements.
Randomize & Symmetrize: Add variation to UV layouts or create mirrored symmetry for mirrored mesh designs.
Match and Stitch: Seamlessly align and stitch UV Islands by matching vertices, position, scale, and rotation.
Reshape Island: Straighten edge loops and relax vertices to improve UV geometry.
Advanced UV Map Editing: Rename, clean up, and manage UV maps across selected models at once.
Marking System: Easily tag seams and sharps based on UV borders, angles, and edge types.
Workflow Management with Finished System: Track unwrapping progress by marking islands as finished or unfinished.
Custom Select System: Quickly select UV elements like overlapped, flipped, sharp-bordered, or similar UV Islands.
Seam Groups Management: Handle complex UV maps with organized seam groupings for better control.
Copy/Paste UVs: Transfer UVs between islands and maps with full control over mirrored, flipped, or transformed versions.
Texel Density Tools: Maintain consistent texel density across UVs with adjustable settings based on scene or world scale.
Checker Texture Support: Validate UV layouts with multiple checker patterns to check for stretching or overlap.
Sticky UV Editor: A convenient side panel that gives one-click access to UV editing tools inside Blender.
Advanced Display Options: Visual feedback for overlapped, stretched, flipped, and excluded UVs, with adjustable borders and margins.
UDIM Workflow Tools: Specialized tools for managing UDIM tile-based texture workflows.
Favorites Panel: Customize a quick-access panel with your most-used scripts, tools, and operators for faster productivity.
