Crap! Sorry man, meant to leave you a link to UVLayout! Here it is...

At this point it's pre-release price is pretty reasonable, but again it's not perfect, but the programmer seems to be trying to get it there.

Haven;t use MAX so I can;t say how it works, I know from a friend that Cinema4D is coming with Boby Paint included, but again I have no first hand knowledge of how they work. 

I stumble thru with Hex and UVmapper, but I'm seriously concidering UVLayout..
