ZenUV 3 Support Status

ZenUV 3 Support Notice

Please be advised that active development and technical support for ZenUV 3 have officially concluded. This version is fully compatible with Blender up to version 5.0.

We understand that many of you rely on ZenUV for your professional workflows, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition may cause. While we have always strived to provide long-term value, the one-time fixed price paid for ZenUV 3 is no longer sufficient to cover the extensive amount of work required to maintain compatibility with the rapidly changing architecture of newer Blender versions. To ensure the project remains sustainable and continues to meet high standards, we must focus our resources on the next generation of the addon.

Enhanced Toolset: Access to advanced operators and workflows not available in previous version.
Streamlined UI: A refined interface designed for better ergonomics and faster navigation.
Future-Proof Compatibility: Full support for the latest Blender versions and the new Extensions system.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing what you create with the powerful new capabilities of ZenUV 5.
