Why we like it

Quick UV Pro stands out in the superhive library for bringing 3ds Max-style UV handling — rotating, scaling, and moving textures on selected faces — into Blender's 3D viewport, backed by a modal workflow and real-size gizmos.

What is Quick Uv Pro?

Quick UV Pro is a Blender add-on from Tyo-79 for managing UVs directly in the 3D viewport. A modal handler drives texture on selected faces, so you can rotate, scale, stretch, and move UVs without leaving the viewport. It includes cube, cylinder, and sphere projection, plus an improved unwrap that straightens islands in one click.

The add-on offers Cube, Plane, and World gizmos at real size, with a right-click in modal mode to reach their dimensions. Gizmo size can fit the mesh, gizmos of the active object isolate automatically while others in the Gizmo Collection hide, and snapping works for all gizmo types with Shift+TAB. World gizmos switch between several textures or drive several shaders inside a shader node.

A Pie Menu on the B key handles projection and UV management from the viewport, and it can add image or IES textures to lights, limited to Cycles. Materials can be tweaked from the viewport with the Alt+M shortcut, shortcuts are editable in Blender's Preferences panel, and the add-on is released under the GPL license.

Who is Quick Uv Pro best for?

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender version does Quick UV Pro support?

Quick UV Pro lists Blender version 5.1 as its supported release and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. It is distributed as an add-on under the GPL license. Shortcuts can be reassigned from Blender's Preferences panel, and the modal UI display is toggled with the T key. For the exact supported builds and any compatibility notes for your own setup, the developer's page is the best place to confirm details before installing.

How do I adjust UVs from the 3D viewport in Quick UV Pro?

Quick UV Pro handles UVs through a modal system driven from the 3D viewport. A Pie Menu on the B key opens projection and UV management options, and a modal handler drives texture on selected faces so you can rotate, scale, stretch, and move UVs in place. Rotation supports incrementation, and there is a one-click rotate option. While the modal is running, the T key sets the UI display. Cube, Plane, and World gizmos are available to control the mapping.

Can Quick UV Pro add textures to lights?

Quick UV Pro can add image textures or IES textures to lights through its Pie Menu. This feature is limited to Cycles, so it will not apply the same way in other render engines. Alongside light textures, the add-on links materials from the active mesh and lets you tweak Quick UV Pro materials from the 3D viewport using the Alt+M shortcut. World gizmos can also drive several shaders or several textures inside a shader node.

Is Quick UV Pro free to use?

Quick UV Pro is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. Licensing and availability can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current terms before downloading. The add-on comes from Tyo-79 and covers UV projection and management inside Blender's 3D viewport, with cube, cylinder, and sphere projection plus Cube, Plane, and World gizmos. A demo video is available.
