Release 4.0.0

  • Dynamic Tiles option: when UVs are packed with Dynamic Tiles on, the packer will automatically determine the number of target tiles to use – it will use as many tiles as possible to pack the UVs efficiently:

  • Better control over defining target tiles in the Tiles mode:

  • New group layout mode for texture atlas workflows:

  • Define texel density tiers: assign islands to tiers once, then modify texel density for them in tier settings at any time with no need for manual per-island reassignment.

  • Texel density operations now support fractional values.

  • Define individually where every multi panel is displayed in the UI:

  • Ability to use enable menus to determine which subpanels are currently displayed (feature limiting the number of subpanels displayed in the UI only to these which are currently enabled):

A lot of other functional, UI and user experience improvements, among others:

  • Moving the UI for grouping configuration to a separate Grouping (Packing) multi panel,

  • Improvements for grouping logic

  • Improving user experience in the Box Editing mode,

  • And other!

Release 4.0.1

  • Add support for Dynamic Tiles for Tiles, Groups Together, Groups Independently packing modes:

  • Object-related options have been moved from the N-Panel in Viewport to Object Properties:

  • Important fix for a bug which caused invisible faces to be affected by per-island parameter assignment.

Release 4.0.2

  • New variant of the UV aligning operation: Align To Unselected – aligns the selected islands on the top of the similar unselected islands:

  • Significant performance optimizations for certain types of very dense UV maps.

  • Performance optimizations for the Measure Area (Merged) operation.

  • The packer now reports islands with severely corrupted topology.

  • Fix the Adjust TD To Unselected operation.

  • Improvements for overlapping islands reporting.

Release 4.0.3

  • New handy UI for editing target boxes as an overlay in the UV editor:

  • Option to load only Pixel Margin settings from a preset file:
  • New transfer operations for quick moving from the UVPackmaster 3 to UVPackmaster 4 workflow:

    • Transfer V3 Options: transfers all options in the blend file from the UVPackmaster 3 addon to the UVPackmaster 4 addon,
