    This Blender Addon by Andreas Esau (ndee85) enables a quick way to create one UV Layout for multiple objects.

    Available on Github.

    A nice addon to improve the workflow for creating unified UV layouts for multiple objects. Currently it is not so simple to create one UV layout for more than one object. You have to merge objects together, edit the UVs and then separate objects out again. With this addon this process is obsolete. Straight forward UV editing for multiple objects is here.



    Installation
    • If you download the zip from the repository, make sure you extract the zip-file before you try to install it via blenders addon manager. Github packages every files in a sub-folder, which results in a not functioning addon installation. So install the multi_object_uv_edit.py directly.
    Usage
    • Just select multiple mesh objects and then press the "Multi Object UV Editing" Button in the Object Tools Panel. This will bring you into edit mode of all selected mesh objects and lets you create one UV Layout for all objects. If no UV Map is existent, just create one.
    • Start editing your UV's.
    • Once you are done, just press tab to leave the edit mode and get back to object mode. Thats it. All your selected objects are updated with new UV's.
