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 recommend you sew a few of the seams together before you do anything else..

To take a wireframe snapshot of your UV layout, do the following..
From inside the UV texture editor window, select all the UVs the goto the bottom of the first menu and select UV snapshot. Dont forget to select a filename, the output size (ie 512 x 512) and the format you want ( ie TGA or TIFF) Before you hit enter.

This will save the UV layout in a format that can be opened in photoshop for you to create the texture you require. As I said previously though, I would sew some of your seams together first though, as It will make it a lot easier for you to join up the textures..

You are just using one colour at the moment. You will be ok if you stick with the one colour.. However, If you put a pattern on the pieces and then look at it on the model, you will see that the pattern does not line up correctly. To get around this you must sew some of the parts together.

You should search the net for tutorials on UV layout or purchase the one here (in 3 parts)

That will help you
