In nuce: Łukasz Czyż releases his UVPackmaster 3 for Blender.
What can UVPackmaster 3 do? The latest version should work on both CPUS and CUDA-fuelled GPUs. The plugin distributes UV packings simultaneously to the CPU and all available GPUs. This should minimise the calculation time.
What else can UVPackmaster 3 do? The new version also offers some features that were absent in the previous version. These include one that allows you to stack UVs on top of each other or align them to each other (“UV Aligning/Stacking”). Or form UV groups within the same UV space, so that you create islands of UVs that you then place next to each other – or split these UV islands up again to create numbered groups from them.
In short: UVPackmaster offers countless opportunities to live out your obsession with organisation. You can get all the feature fun behind this link.
What is CUDA? The abbreviation stands for “Compute Unified Device Architecture” and refers to a programming interface that is used to provide additional computing capacity. CUDA enjoys a certain popularity in the field of scientific and technical calculations. If you would like to find out more about CUDA, visit Nvidia’s CUDA Zone.
Now interlocked with Python: Python is now also embedded in the UVPackmaster, which means that the demanding users among you can now also rebalance the Blender plugin according to the requirements of their workflow.
Availability: You can get the plugin either on Blender Market or Gumroad. The cheapest version is priced at 39 US dollars and is aimed at individuals. There are also two other versions that are suitable for teams – the Studio version for two to five users (119 US dollars) and the Studio version for six to ten users (199 US dollars).

Scrolled further: In DP 05 : 2020, our 3ds Max expert and Hawaiian shirt fetishist Mike Kuhn explained why UV processing is more meditative for him than playing a round of Tetris.
