If you look up LSCM mapping, you'll find a lot of Blender stuff. We got permission to use the same algorithm from Bruno Levy (no code was looked at or taken from Blender) see the paper http://alice.loria.fr/publications/p.../lscm/lscm.pdf if you really want to know more but you might be better just experimenting to see what it does.
There's more that goes on underneath for a new release. Bug fixes, security, library updates and constantly changing operation system compatibilty issues etc. |
I can't seem to find this button... I'm dying to try this new feature as UV mapping has been the bane of my existence...
