This plugin/maxscript combination performs UV Unwrapping based on Least Squares Conformal Maps. It is based on the blender3d implementation by Brecht Van Lommel and Jens Ole Wund. You will set the uv-seams on the object, and the unwrapper will compute uv coords and minimize distortions.
The script now supports proper relative scaling of UV chunks so that it tries to preserve a common texel/unit ratio. Download this 3dsmax plugin HERE
Kaldera is a powerful texturing plug-in that gives users the ability to render full scene information (lighting, opacity, texturing, displacement) into special texture maps based on your object’s appearance and relationship to other objects or elements within your scene. These maps are then directly baked into your object and can be used to display your assets rapidly on Direct3D devices such as graphics display cards or game engines. As you can imagine, this makes Kaldera a huge timesaver for game content creators or any other artist looking to create complex models and sets. Architects and designers can also gain significant performance increases in their scenes since they can display all of the detail in their models without having the associated overhead
