Danny just to say thanks for this script- I mentioned UV Unwrap and you mentioned you had written a script that did the same things, so I thought I would give it a try. It works really well!

Used it for my fish in the tournament thing we are currently doing and it made life much easier. I finally had a UV layout that was useable to paint with in PS and it went back on the model with only a little tweaking needed. Combined with the SM tut on UV wrapping (with the rabbit) and I finally have a little more understanding of this UV mapping lark. Thanks!
