Created by 3D artist Sargis Ter-Grigoryan, it adds component modes, marking menus, a UV Toolkit panel, and a live 3D checker. It can straighten curved quad shells like cylinders or pipes into grids in one click, fix distortion with brushes, and maintain consistent texel density. A Shift+click option selects the edge run between two clicks with a live preview, and the packer follows each shell's outline while keeping grouped shells together. It runs non-destructively on top of the standard Unwrap UVW modifier, so edits are reversible and scenes still open without the plug-in. It's available on Gumroad and ArtStation Marketplace. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
