Straighten a curved ribbon’s UV strip
A screenshot walkthrough with fictional practice data. Select a step to explore.
1. Start with
Straighten a curved ribbon’s UV strip
The practice Blender file has a four-quad ribbon bent through 90 degrees.
Sample files and contents
examples/skadira/curved-ribbon.blend: a fictional ribbon of 4 quads bent through 90 degrees, whose UVs follow the curve. All four faces are already selected.
Practice files and guides are free. The complete app is included only where the product page says so.
2. In the app
Try it in three steps
- Open a copy and select Curved ribbon in Edit Mode.
- Validate the selection and review its four quads.
- Straighten the UV strip and inspect the UV Editor.
Show every click and setting
- Install Skadira as above. Open a copy of examples/skadira/curved-ribbon.blend; if Blender restores a Preferences editor, switch to a 3D Viewport or the UV Editing workspace.
- Click the object Curved ribbon, press Tab for Edit Mode and open the sidebar's Skadira tab with N.
- Click Validate Selection.
- Click Straighten Strip, then look at the UVs in the UV Editor (for example in the UV Editing workspace).
3. The result
Inspect the result
The synthetic host capture shows a straightened UV layout while mesh geometry stays unchanged. Other materials and physical outputs are untested.
What to check in the practice result
Validate reports a valid strip: 4 quads, 5 cross-sections, uniform spacing, rectangle 0.7023 x 0.1000 UV, and nothing changes. Straighten Strip turns the curved UV arc into a straight rectangle of the same size with five evenly spaced cross-sections, inside the 0 to 1 UV square. The mesh does not move. Ctrl+Z brings the curve back. This is the expected practice result. This release verified opening the file and its four selected quads in Blender 4.5.14 Linux; it did not capture manual GUI straighten/Undo on that file. The separate synthetic host captures below illustrate the operation.
This fictional example is shown in the working interface and in the supplied result. Review the guide before using your own files.
What it helps you do
Select one continuous strip of quad faces and straighten its UVs into a rectangular grid while leaving the mesh geometry in place.
