Add-on: TexTools for Blender
renderhjs writes:
TexTools is a free addon for Blender with a collection of UV and Texture related tools. Back in 2009 I released the Original TexTools for 3dsMax. This is my first blender addon and it is at an early development phase. More features will be added in the future.
Current features:
- Align Edge. Aligns the UV island to the current UV edge selection
- Rotate 90. Rotate the UV island 90 degrees and align to previous bounds
- Align Verts/Faces. Align selected edges/ verts to the bound's direction. Or align UV islands in face mode to the bounds direction.
- Sort H/V. Align, sort and line up UV islands horizontal or vertical in one action.
- Iron Faces. Unwraps selected viewpoert faces Face mode into a single UV island. This is often a quicker approach of unwrapping as opposed to marking the boundary edges (mark seams).
- Select similar. Selects similar UV islands based on the UV island input selection and matching UV Island topology.
- Select Overlap. Collects all UV islands that overlap each other and select of each group all except for one island.
- Select Island Bounds. Selects the edge bounds of all UV Islands in the 3D viewport.
- Checker Map. Assigns a checker map to the selected object or cycles through 2 checker maps. When a checker map is assigned it changes the view to texture mode.
- Reload Textures. Reload all textures in the current blend file
Nice! Thank you very much! I really like it!
This looks like a very handy tool. Definitely something I’m going to use to death if it works as well as I think it will. Thank you very much for your hard work.
I’ve needed this in my life too many times to count. Thanks.
Been using the maxscript for a few yrs now – now that I partially moved to Blender, I really welcome this addon – can’t wait to try it out, now in Blender (:
Ooh! Textool is a must have in 3ds max! We are very lucky. Thanks for the effort, I will test it now in our production pipeline

I’m using this add-on in Blender 3.5 and I’m at a loss as to how this add-on is free. Extremely useful, I just wish I had found it sooner. Thank you for this amazing add-on.
