Week 6 Report:
This week, I added functionality to the UV merge tool and prepared for future tasks. I added a feature to the Merge UVs operator, allowing it to merge based on the underlying geometry. For the implementation of deformation to the Seam-Weld functionality, after consulting with my mentor, we decided to use Laplacian Deformation instead of the initially considered Least Squares method for mesh deformation after welding. I spent time understanding the mathematical Laplacian Operator and began looking into Blender’s Laplacian Deform operator to apply this technique to the UV stitch tool.
