Relax UVs using the Smooth UV Tool

To relax UVs using the Smooth UV Tool

1. From the UV Texture Editor toolbar, turn on the distortion shader . See Identify UV distortion.

   The UV Texture Editor shades areas of your UV mesh that are squashed or stretched, making it easy to identify areas you need to relax.

2. In the UV Texture Editor, select the UVs or UV shell you want to relax.
3. From the UV Texture Editor menus, turn on the Smooth UV Tool (Tool > Smooth UV Tool).

   Two controls appear at the bottom-left of the selected UVs.

4. Drag the box labelled Relax. The further you drag, the more the selected UVs relax.
