Pins

InputsOutputs

Pin	Type	Description
`Mesh`	Mesh	The mesh whose UV layout you want to look at.

Pin	Type	Description
`Mesh`	Mesh	The input mesh, unchanged.
`Texture`	Asset	The layout picture for the tile currently on show.

Settings

Setting	Type	Description
`Resolution`	Whole number	How big the picture comes out, in pixels. It is square, and you get one per UDIM tile.
`UV Channel`	Whole number	Which UV channel gets drawn.
`Mode`	Choice	What the picture shows: the islands, how evenly the texture is spread, or just the edges.
`Island Coloring`	Choice	A colour per island, or one colour for the lot.
`Island Color`	Colour	The colour every island is filled with when Island Coloring is on Single Color.
`Background`	Choice	What sits behind the layout.
`Anti-Aliasing (SSAA)`	Whole number	Renders larger and shrinks back down so the edges are not jagged. 2 is usually enough; 4 draws sixteen times the pixels to get there.
`Draw Wireframe`	True/False	Draws the triangle edges over the top of the fill.
`Line Thickness`	Number	How thick those edges come out, in pixels of the finished picture.
`Emphasize Island Borders`	True/False	Draws the island borders, which are the seams, twice as thick and brighter than the edges inside an island.
`Draw Grid`	True/False	Draws a faint grid every 0.1 of a tile, plus the border of the 0-1 square, so you can tell how far across the tile something sits.
`Highlight Overlaps`	True/False	Paints any pixel covered by more than one triangle bright magenta. Overlapping UVs bake on top of each other, and this is the quickest way to find where.
`Distortion Contrast`	Number	How hard the heatmap pushes the colours apart. Raise it to pick out small differences. Lower it when the whole mesh reads as red and blue with no green left in it.
`Enable UDIM`	True/False	Draws every tile the UVs reach instead of only the 0-1 square.
`Max UDIM Tiles`	Whole number	How many tile columns to look across, starting at 1001. UVs further right than that get folded back into the last column, so raise it if a tile you expect is missing. All ten rows are scanned either way.
`Preview Tile`	Whole number	Which UDIM tile to show, counting from the first one that has UVs in it.
