Artists in the film and games industry spend hours manually scaling the texture coordinates of models to get them in the right proportion. This plugin completely automates this process but still leaves the artist in control.

Overview

To get the most out of textures they should be mapped in proportion to the size of the geometry. Not doing so means that different parts of the scene will have different texture distribution, resulting in some textures appearing blurrier than others while some will be overly sharp, making the scene appear inconsistent and strange. Those objects with too much texture mapped to them waste memory and cause aliasing (flickering) due to the overly high frequency of texels.

Artists in the game and film industry can spend hours scaling UVs up and down manually trying to get them to the ideal proportion. This isn't a particularly fun job, in fact it's not something we should be wasting our time with. Wouldn't it be great if this tiresome task was automated?

Enter UVAutoRatio Pro: the complete tool for automating all texel ratio tasks.

Testimonials
The tool UVAutoRatio made it possible to UV 100s of items in seconds, leaving me more time for stylizing and art direction of the shot.
- Senior Modeler, National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Precise results in seconds rather than hours - since we found out about UVAutoRatio the computer does the tedious, boring stuff while we can concentrate on the fun part. That's how things are supposed to be.
- Tom L, Senior 3D Artist, Realtime Technology
UVAutoRatio makes UV mapping almost completely automated for diffuse and normal map UV layouts, even more so for light map layouts! The time it saves is unparalleled in third party UV tools. Thanks Guys!
