Looks old but works best. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Motion Pictures and Film | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2018 **What do you like best about UV layout?** Simple stand-alone program. Unwrap 3d model uv perfectly. It has lots of tools and uv distortion coloring is good. Easy to layout uv for UDIMs workflow. Stable. Works in Linux. The price is great -100$ for 1 year home usage(student ver) and 300$ for Pro. **What do you dislike about UV layout?** UI looks old, the same all these years but it works. Sometimes the app can't handle the very "heavy" 3D models. The file import window is not the most convenient and takes some getting used to. **Recommendations to others considering UV layout:** Just us it. Looks old but powerful, stable, works on any OS and is updated regularly. **What problems is UV layout solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it for uv unwrap and layout my 3D models. The app has plugin for Maya that bridges the 3D model software with Uv Layout. It helps save asset shading setup and other attributes when unwrapping 3D model. ### 2. Old but still current **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alessio V. | 3D Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2019 **What do you like best about UV layout?** it is a software to do UV editing, very simple at level of interface , few commands and shortcuts that make it fast in use. it is powerful in the calculation of the unfold and the uv pack. **What do you dislike about UV layout?** It has a very old interface and uses only OBJ as a 3D format, it has not been updated for some time even if its functions do not need much updating. **What problems is UV layout solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed up the creation, packaging and editing of UVs within the workflow. It has a ridiculous cost and does not have compatibility problems. ### 3. Easy to use, and fits in well with my workflow! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler H. | 3D Modeler, Computer Games, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017 **What do you like best about UV layout?** I really like the different modes/views, and the ease of which you can tell where seams and cuts are. **What do you dislike about UV layout?** Some parts do feel a bit clunky. Rotating the camera stops after a certain amount. Sometimes feels like you don't have as fine control over vertices as you would other 3D apps. **Recommendations to others considering UV layout:** It takes a bit to get used to, and now many programs are implementing the same tools. If the bsic tools don't do it for you, this one is a fairly inexpensive and good tool to use! **What problems is UV layout solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is part of my typical workflow, for UV unwrapping my characters and models. ### 4.
