How to Straighten UV in Maya and get the perfect UV mapping, the easiest way.

Update: I found a faster way here • How to straighten curv...
But this video still useful for relaxing the UV.
At min 1:00 I press Ctrl + Z to undo the Unfold.
Using Straighten, optimize, and smooth. we can relax the UV and Straighten it with minimum manual work.

The normalize was a mistake and u can see it by the stretched checkers but besides of that everything is great

OMG Thank you so much! I currently am at a University for 3D and although my texturing is awesome, sometimes I find myself skimping on making neat UV maps when it comes to having to straighten out something like this, which in the end is BAD if you ever plan to present your UVs as well in a portfolio. When I would take the time to straighten, I would grab UV points and rotate them and move them into place and then finally hit straighten. I just straightened something in less time than this video takes to watch simply because I watched your method using optimization and smoothing! :) Thank you!

I've added a note in the description, I found a better way after I recorded this method while I was learning :)
