UV Outliner: Visualize and Manage UV Islands in Blenders

A plugin for Blender's UV/Image Editor to organize, rename, select, search, and arrange UV islands with an interactive list.

What is UV Outliner?

UV Outliner is an add-on for Blender that provides an easy way to view, select, organize, and manage UV islands in the UV/Image Editor. It adds a panel that displays an interactive list of all the UV islands in the active UV map.

Some key features of UV Outliner include:

  • View all UV islands in a list, with their names and other properties
  • Select islands in the 3D view by clicking on them in the list
  • Rename islands for better organization
  • Reorder islands by dragging them in the list
  • Search for islands by name or data
  • Set island display options like color and visibility
  • Hide and reveal islands
  • Select disjointed UV faces and automatically assign them to new islands

By providing an overview of all islands in a UV map, UV Outliner makes it easier to select, organize, and work with the different UV shells. It's helpful for texture artists and technical artists using Blender for UV unwrapping and texture baking workflows. The plugin works with Blender 2.80 or higher.
