Road Kill Uv tool

[Barf]

Great 3rd party free uv program, I recommend using the stand-alone version.

usage is simple

-import .obj model

Spoiler

(i recommend applying a planar uv projection on the model before importing)

-left click to grab edges which you want to define as borders and press C (cut)

the program will automatically use the cuts you make in the model to unwrap and layout the uvs as best it can.
it also has a texture stretching visualization mode which I recommend using.
