# blender-xatlas

I'm so sorry. This is not good. I have no idea what I'm doing.  

This is a rough add-on for Blender allowing you to use Xatlas to unwrap and pack your uvs  
It currently works on Windows/Linux (Tested on Windows 10, Windows 8, Ubuntu)  
Code in /xatlas_src is modified from [xatlas](https://github.com/jpcy/xatlas/)
