Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Hi everyone, thought I'd say hello and show progress of my work following Kurts excellent T-Rex tutorial user added image

This is my second attempt at this tutorial, the first one was not very good but was a great learning curve so I thought I'd re-attempt it and so far I'm quite happy.
I've got some more work to do around the eye area and then a bit of general tweaking before moving on to texturing.

Added textures
...regarding knee - is it okay to move vertices after creating uv set? If I work more on the knee area would I have to re-do the uv mapping?

you will not have to completly redo the uvmapping, only the part where the knee is because if you dont, you will have streched textures on the knee part.
