Note:
The Relax button is a wonderful thing. It’s by default
assigned to your “A” key in the Edit UVWs window. You
can also get to it under Tools in your Edit UVWs window
and in the Pelt Map Parameters dialog box. Try using it
when you’re just unwrapping something normally without
pelt map. I commonly refer to it as the “Make my UVWs
look good” button. It’s amazing what kind of distortion it
can get rid of!
When you are done, make sure you’re still in Face sub-object
mode, go back up to the Map Parameters rollout, and press
the Pelt button. Now you will be able to manually edit any
remaining UVWs that you are unhappy with.
