LSCM Tool

LSCM Tool

The LSCM Tool is a UV editing tool that uses the LSCM algorithm to generate natural UV coordinates.

note

To create a UV Seam​

You can use the Mark UV Seam tool and the Unmark UV Seam tool in Modeling Mode to create cut lines for the LSCM Tool to use.

For more information, see the Mark UV Seam Tool and Unmark UV Seam Tool pages.

info

LSCM Algorithm​

Short for Least Squares Conformal Maps (LSCM), this algorithm calculates the least squares distance to produce the optimal UV.

How to Use​

Selected UV Face​

  1. Select the UV faces you want to expand. LSCM Tool Select Face
  2. Run the LSCM Tool.
  3. The selected UV face has been expanded. LSCM Tool Result

Create a UV along a set cut line​

  1. Edit the cut line with the Mark UV Seam tool and Unmark UV Seam tool. LSCM Tool Mark Seam
  2. Select the face to be stretched. LSCM Tool Select All Face
  3. Run the LSCM Tool.
  4. The UV face has been unfolded to match the cut line. LSCM Tool Result
