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

Sporin : Character

Heylo. Well, it's time for me to try something in Maya for once.

I started the competition but I just don't like the idea of another inorganic model. Going to have my hand at organics now.

This is the sword for my character (yes, inorganic). The character shall come next.

This is the design of the sword so there's not much for me to change. Give ideas.

Thanks for the comment.

I'm looking forward to seeing how my head will turn out.

I'm doing Michael McKinley's head tutorial. So I guess this character will be dedicated to McKinley lol.

Thanks for the comment Matt. Yea I knew those edges were hard before I posted. I thought I can do something with the texture to make it look better.

Anyways, here's the start on the head. I must say, it's a great tutorial.

I know it's almost impossible to comment on right now, but just give me your thoughts on if it's looking right and if the edges look alright.

Wow - he starts you off making the back of the head first? Or am I just completely misreading it?

Thanks for the comment arran. Lol no he doesn't start off with the back of the head. That's just a view.

Well, back to Maya lol.

I haven't quit on this or anything, I've just been programming instead.

Updates coming soon.
