Overlapping UV

[CellStudioTAU]

Hi, thanks for the amazing work!

I have a 3d mesh like this one

when I use flatten the unwrapping is very good exceptfor the 2 corner which are overlapped. Do you have some suggestion? I am using the library so I was wondering if there is some function to evaluate the best cuts.

Thanks for trying out the software! Unfortunately, at the moment there is no support for removing overlaps, though this is functionality that could be added.

@rohan-sawhney do you have any ideas for how this could be added? I'm interested in working on it and eager to try something out. I was thinking of initially trying to detect all the overlapping triangles and simply cutting them and putting them into their own UV map. Any papers/suggestions for what to look for?

@eak24 @rohan-sawhney could you provide some tips how to remove overlaps?
