This program is awesome. Based on parts of the Blender 3D code base, Roadkill UV Tool is so good at what it does it will sicken you over how much time you’ve probably spent unwrapping your model elements in the past. Yes, I know, that sounds like marketing. I pull chains not. This program is great because of one very important thing that is hard to find in the 3D artist’s toolbox: Simplicity.
It only has a few different things you can do: Load a model, pick some edges, tap ‘c’ to cut those edges, and watch the evil 3D duck goat wizardry take place on the UV view panel just to the right of your 3D view-port. Cut something you didn’t mean to cut? W. You got it, Einstein: Weld.
It’s not new on the scene, but you guys deserve to know about it if you don’t already have this monster secretly hidden away while you swear three ways from Sunday to your boss that you pelt unwrapped that purple man staff, painstakingly, over the course of a week locked alone in your office. You unwrapped it in 5 minutes and you know it, can’t fool me. I can see lies.
It is worth the download, and this short walk-through of all it is capable of is worth a watch:
