Rapid tools released UV reactor. A very promising UV unwrap system inside 3ds Max. Unlinke the modifier based UV unwrap modifier included in max, this new tool is modifier independent, so it can be open at all times, totally independent and detached from the modifier panel, more in line in how other software manages UVs.

Because is OpenGL accelerated, you can work in UV reactor in real time even with milions of polygons.
And has a huge amount of other advantages, being able to use any selection tool that you are already used to in 3dsmax, new unwrapping and multistiching tools and more. Check the website for mor information.
