Interesting idea to use the Morph tools to aid with the UV projections. I had a similar idea for using bones to straighten out tentacles for mapping, but I think the morph approach may be easier and better. :)

This is similar to an old max technique which involved splitting the mesh up and arranging it flat, then using a morph modifier to glue it back together. This is the ancestor of the steed method that I use (which involved edit modifiers instead of morphs).


If you don't know max then this will mean nothing, I guess.:)


This is an interesting idea, and I think would make some uv mapping some models easier.

New big cat UV model uploaded, these models is created like UV mesh by default and morph into shape, the technique is a work around by artist's standard not the software feature.
