A brief history of Rizom-Lab
Founded by Rémi Arquier, Rizom-Lab builds on the innovation that began with Unfold3D in 2003, one of the first commercial UV mapping tools capable of flattening complex geometry without distortion. These ground-breaking UV mapping algorithms became industry standards, even powering Autodesk’s Maya® and SoftImage® software. In 2016, Rémi launched Rizom-Lab with a fresh vision, creating RizomUV, a new generation of UV mapping tools designed for speed, precision, and usability. Inspired by the concept of the rhizome, an ever-growing root system, Rizom-Lab is committed to continuous evolution. Today, RizomUV offers powerful standalone applications, Virtual Spaces and Real Spaces, along with a versatile C++ library for seamless software integration. By prioritizing collaboration, innovation, and user feedback, Rizom-Lab is shaping the future of UV mapping.
