Auto Seams
The Auto Seams section in UDIM Maestro provides a powerful and intelligent way to automatically generate UV seams on your models. Whether you're preparing assets for UV unwrapping, optimizing for UDIM workflows, or looking to speed up your manual seam marking process, this tool offers a clean and efficient solution.
Angle : This setting controls the edge angle threshold used for generating seams. It automatically places seams along sharp edges—useful for hard surface models or areas where natural breaks in geometry occur. A lower angle captures more details; a higher angle produces broader, cleaner islands.
Max Island : This setting defines the maximum surface area (in square units) that a UV island can occupy before an automatic cut is applied. If an island exceeds this limit during seam generation, the tool will create additional seams to split it into smaller, more manageable sections.
Apply Seams This function automatically applies seams to your selected mesh using the defined angle and max island settings. With one click, you get optimized seam placement for quick and clean UV unwrapping.
Clear Selected Seams Removes only the seams from your currently selected geometry. This is useful for refining or reworking specific areas without affecting the rest of your mesh.
Clear All Seams Instantly removes all seams from the entire mesh, giving you a fresh start. Ideal when you want to restart your seam layout or switch to a different unwrapping strategy.
Why It’s Useful
Fast UV Prep: Automatically generating seams based on angle and island limits speeds up UV unwrapping dramatically, especially on complex models.
Ideal for UDIM Workflows: Cleanly separated UV islands are essential when distributing UVs across multiple UDIM tiles. Auto Seams makes that setup much easier and more predictable.
Artist-Friendly Controls: Angle and max island sliders give you full control over how detailed or simplified your seams are.
The Auto Seams section in UDIM Maestro gives you intelligent tools to automate and control your UV seam generation process. With adjustable parameters and quick cleanup options, it allows artists to work faster, and maintain clean UVs.
