This video will cover the modes within UV Flatten, which allow you to cut seams, sew seams, pin vertices, align vertices in U or V direction, and straighten edge loops. We'll also look at the flattening methods available: Spectral and Angle-Based and the options that are associated with each. While you can use the production build, please note that this video was created using the 16.5.388 build.

    I like the word "distortioned".

    I have been struggling with doing custom UVs in Houdini for so long until I finally saw you show how to use the in viewport tools by pressing the Enter key with the UV flatten active. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    I`d like the ability to add seams in a UV edit node 2 as the uvflatten sometimes messes up the UV`s if they are already present.
