The Relax and Regularize operators can be used to adjust the sample point coordinates.
- Relax tries to spread out the sample positions resulting in a more even point density. This provides a larger area in the
texture image for the detailed sections of an object.
- Regularize tries to match the proportions of the polygons in the texture editor to their corresponding proportions on the
3D object.
Both operations are usually performed on islands, although you can use any selection you want. Island borders are not affected.
To apply Relax or Regularize
-
In the texture editor, select the sample points to affect.
-
Choose one of the following:
-
Adjust the sliders:
- is the number of times to repeat the operation. Higher values give stronger effects, but after a certain number of iterations
the sample positions usually reach a final state and do not move further.
- is the strength of the effect at each iteration. Again, higher values give stronger effects.
