Use when UV unwrapping, placing seams, straightening or packing UVs, setting texel density, laying out UDIMs or mirrored UVs, or baking normal, AO, curvature, ID or displacement maps from a sculpt or high poly onto a low poly or retopo in Blender, including Multires bakes. Also when a bake has black or inverted patches, flat areas, cracks, seams, wavy lines or AO ghosts, bpy.ops.object.bake returns CANCELED, or uv.unwrap silently fails.
