UV Tools

UV tools in Pro exist to normalize and enforce export-ready UV behavior. They're intended for pipeline consistency more than artistic packing.

Use cases

• Preparing assets for baking
• Ensuring consistent UV density strategy
• Making UDIM workflows predictable
• Projecting UVs from a high-poly source onto a retopologised mesh

UV Transfer

UV Transfer (added in v2.6.0) is in the Optimize tab. It projects UV maps from a high-poly source object onto a retopologised mesh using nearest-face interpolation, then relaxes with Conformal UV unwrap.

Workflow:

1. Have both the high-poly source and the retopologised mesh in the scene.
2. Select the retopo mesh as active.
3. Set the Source Object field to the high-poly mesh.
4. Click Transfer UVs.

This covers a common gap after QuadWild or Voxel Remesh operations where UV data is destroyed. UV Transfer recovers the original UV appearance without re-unwrapping from scratch.

Known limitation: Results vary on multi-material meshes with overlapping UV islands. Inspect the result and re-relax individual islands in the UV Editor if needed.
