Labs Calculate/Remove UV Distortion

The Calculate UV Distortion node will allow you to calculate UV distortion for the specified UV attribute and export it as a primitive attribute. The node will visualize the distortion by default using a visualizer, but this can be disabled.

The Remove UV Distortion tool tries to reduce the UV distortion on geometry with pre-existing UVs. It does so by calculating the distortion found in the UVs and cutting new seams based on that. Depending on the polycount of your geometry, this can take some time due to the nature of the used operations.The tool is most useful for cases where you have clear “hotspots” of distortion.
