Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

The face could maybe use some work. You might want to make the eyes seperated from the face so you can have easier eye movement. Watch the corner of the mouth.
The fingers might could lose some of the joint edges, but it depends on what the character is expected to do with her hands.
EDIT:
Where is all the geometry being used? 3000 tris seems a bit high. Just looking at it, I wouldve guessed closer to 1500-2000. The eyes could definitey be reduced a bit, as well as some of the geometry in the brow.

.Just a update after the pruning session down to sub 2500 now. I'm not keep on reducing the face to much as I want to have some facial animation.
Uv'ing started but i'm going to scotland for a long weekend so might slow down for a few days.

Dae, what do you mean? I think its what every hot chick should be wearing
Thanks Ransick, hopeful have a more detailed texture in the next day or so.
RC thanks dude, ah we return to the ever present question about breasts. I can understand your confusion as the texturing is detailed enough yet. Eventually it will show a corset type bodice that will support the breast from below.
