I have a modeler friend who is making a many-piece armoured hardbody
character and he is very much annoyed by the fact you can't select
multiple objects and then move around multiple UV shells from
different objects at once. (In Maya it's possible.) Would be nice to
see that fixed in a future version.. (He resorted to using "Merge"
for portions of the armour and later using that JP_Separate script to
reseparate them once the UVs are arranged nicely.)
And I'd really like to see an implementation similar to Maya's
"Unfold" feature (it's kinda like Roadkill, but built-in) and I'd
*LOVE* a "Relax UVs" that doesn't suck.
That said, I still generally like XSI's Texture Editor better than
Maya's though.
Just my $0.02,
