Topic - UV-mapping tutorial

Quote from Andrew Kinabrew :

nice uv tutorial... the only thing I would add is that you could reduce the time you spent on straightening out those uv edges by using a custom action center.

It works like this

Select one edge loop and align(scale) it the way you want usually on the u or v (we'll call this the 'model edge').

then select all the subsequent edges that should be aligned in the direction of the 'model edge'

choose the action center's center to "local" and change the action center's axis to element and click on the 'model edge' as the element

use the scale handle on the u or v to tune the selected edges based on their local center in the uv window and done.

It's a huge time saver and picked it up from Seneca along the way.
