headus UVLayout

UV texture coordinate creation and editing for 3D polymeshes and subdivision surfaces

Users define UV seams on a mesh, and the software flattens the pieces into UV shells with distortion feedback shown via checkered or textured display. The company also operates a 3D scanning service bureau, and its software began as in-house tools to support that work.
