Quote - Is it worth having straighter vertex columns in the front if the UV seam ends up there, as well?

My reaction is OMG NO !!!!!  but I am a bad painter of textures and I prefer no seams at all, or hidden at the back if there has to be one .  

I think you should consider making this a commercial product . 

I think odf had a better idea, so there wouldn't be any need to place the UV seam at the front.  Assuming I can force the vertex positions, and the results are as hoped, they can go at  the back.

I'm not sure a commercial product is really what I'm all about.  First, several versions have already been posted on the forum, meaning that the code is already free for anyone to use.  Any effort to restrict it would be difficult because of that.  Second, I'd make a really crummy merchant.  :lol:  I'm too flighty, shifting from one project or idea to another and losing all interest in what has gone before.  I've also disappeared from the community for months at a time, when working on other things.  And I tend to struggle with writing clear instructions.  I'd really hate dealing with a merchant like me.  :lol: Third, a free product honors everyone who gives and has given so freely of their own creations.  I remember the Poser community before there were any marketplaces or commercial products, outside of a limited range of DAZ items.  I've made such use of Antonia, Ockham's countless and wonderful scripts, and any number of great Free Stuff items that it just seems nice to try to give back a little bit, in the way that I'm able.  Finally, there's some borrowed code at the core of these scripts, most notably the convex hull code.  I wouldn't feel right about trying to sell that.

But thank you for thinking highly enough of the script to suggest the idea!  :thumbupboth:
