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

I know what you mean with regards to proportions, Jay will recall us taking photo's of a seemingly attractive girl but when we took orthographic shots of her we noticed her ear was way out of where you would expect, even my ears are a little special. Mine are rotated to the back of my head a little, I believe it makes me go faster lol

She will end up fully clothed by the way

Don't want to spend too much time on the details as she will end up clothed and so will focus on just the hands and legs and the neck and upper chest area.
Anyway, here's an update though
