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

April Challenge_Lo PolyCharacter_Ozgalis

Going to do tidus, I want to change his outfit into more of a chainmail armor...make him seem a little more bad a**, playing with the idea of making him an elf instead of human to.

I was going to do the main dude from ff8, which got me going though my old ps1 games and ended up doing the character I am. But I loved this guy - used to have all the model from FF10 at some point - they were really low poly.

You going for just a different look or more like a "Evil Ryu" type thing - you know as if he was a bad guy ..

Anyway get going want to see more work

just a different look at the moment, want to do some sketches for armor though, so maybe it will change when I get that going. Getting some reference art now and then taking care of some tax problems, hopefully will be able to start tonight.

It'd be great to see you bring your idea to fruition OZ. But hopefully everything works out for you. Either way we're rooting for you!

haha whats it mean? and nah i dont think im going to make it, I joined a game compatition at my school, its a group of programmers and artists and we need to make a flash game. Currently I am working on the main character and some weapons, if I can I will post the finished product so you guys can check it out.

P.S. This is the second time I have joined this and they fell through so lets hope it works out this time...seems like it is though, my portion of the art is nearly finished, I just need to train someone in flash in the next week. Plus they already have the levels set up, just waiting on the environment backdrop the character (me) and the animals (everyone else).
