Hi Phil, I´ve just come across with headus by watching a gnomon tutorial, I get amazed by this program, and I started to learn it and seems that only a person (Phil) seems to have developed it.
A big question came into my mind, how Alias or Autodesk wasn´t able to make a program like that? It is a big company, many workers and they have a lot of money.
I do not know but seems that brain is the part that is missing.
So, here goes 3 questions, if you can answer a simple guy like me I would be so glad.
1) Headus is getting popular, because it is fast, easy to use and cheap, very soon a company, such as Autodesk that is eating everything, will contact you to sell headus, are you intending to do so?

2) If so, please could you sell it to somebody that is competent enough to develop it even better?

3) If not, could you keep going updating this amazing program that makes us very happy that somebody like you invented it?

Thanks for this amazing program, that is going to be a reference to UV layout very soon.

No. We'd probably be open to licensing the technology if someone wanted to incorporate the functionality into their own software, but UVLayout running in plugin "mode" achieves much the same thing, so I cant see anyone bothering personally.

Thank you for your kind words! I think there's still going to be a majority of users that just want a one click solution, but if UVLayout becomes the choice of experts, of course we'd be happy :-)

Thanks Phil for your time, and I am glad that you personally will take care of this program, so we will know for sure that it will get better.
Let´s wait until headus get very popular than we will see the interest of some company.

Best regards

Yes...it is best for headus to remain as independent as possible. It is popular in the 3D industry to be sure. Heard about these guys through the kind folks from 3D Buzz, thanks to their Maya ADP Class. It seems like this is an innovative tool, and certainly looks better than the built-in UV utilities in either Maya or 3ds Max (or even Carrara 8.1 Pro, which I use), according to what I've been watching in those videos. All in all, sounds like this is good information. Certainly wouldn't want these guys to sell out to the big corporations.
