Flatiron Open Beta Released!

 Flatiron – Robust And Simple Full Scene Unwrapping and Baking Solution, based on Unwrella’s unique unwrapping technology.
Flatiron is the newest full scene unwrapping and baking plug-in for Autodesk™ 3D Studio Max™. It was developed to satisfy high demands of graphics designers in real world production environments and provides a fast, automated, simple to use and optimal full scene unwrapping and baking solution.
Flatiron lets you bake textures for multiple objects into a single map in just a few simple steps. Flatiron automatically takes care of the unwrapping and packing processes and creates the UV map with optimized distribution. This process minimizes texture seams and image corruption due to stretched pixels, and at the same time keeps the UV area ratio of all objects uniform.
Key features
Simple workflow, with advanced options available
At minimum, 4 simple steps are necessary for the full unwrapping and baking process. Users requiring additional options and in the need of fine-tuning of rendering parameters have all the usual render-to-texture parameters from the standard Max built-in "render-to-texture" dialog available.
The unwrapping and packing of large numbers of chunks for hundreds of objects is based on 3d-io’s Unwrella plug-in. Charts are packed quickly and optimally, yielding optimal texture space usage, and at the same time respecting user selectable gutter padding and final texture size. This automatic process offers noticeably better results then MAX built-in “Flatten”, when the resulting rendered images are compared side-by-side.
