Welcome to the ProUV for ZBrush home page

ProUV is a new ZBrush for Windows plugin, which brings heavy duty automatic UV unwrapping algorithm optimized for scuplting to all users of ZBrush.

Currently, the plugin has finished the "open beta" phase, and commercial licenses are available via our ordering page. The plug-in has a 15-days automatically activated trial mode, with 5000 mesh-faces unwrapping limitation.

The official v1.2 installer is available for download on our downloads page. We welcome suggestions, bug reports and any other user feedback on our forums.

To illustrate benefits of this plug-in, we provide a few head-to-head comparisons with ZBrush built-in automatic unwrappers AUV & GUV.

We're proud to announce that ProUV professional UV unwrapping plug-in for ZBrush has been released in version 1.1 and is now available for download and commercial licensing. Trial version is also available for download, and is limited to 15 days of usage and at most 5000 mesh-faces per unwrapped model. All artists are welcome to download and check out the plug-in - user feedback, feature requests and bug reports can be left on our support forums.

ProUV features sculpting optimized automatic UV map creation, which significantly improves upon existing GUV and AUV built-in ZBrush unwrapping solutions. Improvements can be experienced in all texture related workflows, and to demonstrate it we have provided a few examples on the plug-in web page.

Improvements in v1.1:

* support for ZBrush 3.5 R2
* support for Windows 7

Features/benefits:

* overall much higher texture fidelity
* texture distortions minimized
* uniform (area-based) detail distribution
* fully automatic unwrapping
* real-time engine usage ready
* simple to use (one button click - job done, for the majority of objects)
* textures much easier to retouch / edit in photoshop

Availability:

The plug-in is available for commercial licensing for Zbrush 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.5 R2 (only Windows OS is supported). The trial version can be freely downloaded from our web home-page at http://speedy.rs/prouv. The trial is limited to 15 days of usage and at most 5000 mesh-faces per model.
