[modo] ZBrush's UV algorithm
interpolator
Hello guys, as the title said, can we have ZBrush's PUV or AUV or GUV algorithm inside modo? basically mapping each face to be small square and fill in entire 0-1 coordinate.
It's for a UV2 light-mapping purpose. It's a very time consuming to mapped lots of small unimportant area (example; the thickness face of extruded bricks). I can simply map it to any empty space but it wont look very good. If we can have each poly face fit perfectly on 1 pixel on the lightmap texture that will be great.

Alternatively, Barycentric unwrap and then Pack UVs, but that's a lot of islands, I'd stick with Atlas.
@Warren - Well it's for personal project though, so I don't really mind about performance drop that much. But you have a point that I haven't really consider before. Do you have any suggestion for a better approach/ workflow for those small pieces? without anyone notice that the artist being lazy (hah!) cus normally lightmap textures will be a really small texture, so grid snap will be crucial for a better lightmap.
