The Year of the Fire Horse begins with a spark: focused, energetic, and built for momentum.
Packer-IO (https://www.uv-packer.com/), the free UV packing tool for industry, games, art, and experimentation, has been updated for greater efficiency – available both as a standalone application and as a Blender extension. Version 1.4 refines what matters most: functionality, precision, and workflow clarity.
Smooth Operator – Work, Look & Feel
Packer-IO 1.4 introduces a rewritten UV Tile packing interface and improved internal mechanisms. The result is cleaner interaction and more predictable results.
- Correct uniform scaling across UV cells
- Improved dynamic UV tile packing
- New Turbo Packing mode for maximum speed
- Free Blender Extension for UV packing
Turbo Packing is optimized for fast iteration. Unlike Efficient and Quality modes, it skips advanced steps such as convexity analysis and hole detection – delivering ultra-fast results when time is critical.
