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

Jedi Fighter - Need Input
while waiting for the comanche plasticmodel, i started a jedi fighter like the one from kurt.
btw.. Kurt did the front window wrong, the hexagon frame is set to odd, not even :p
Problem is : I found only 1 image on the net ( and the one from kurts model) to work from. So the front is looking ok to me, but I have not a clue how this thing looks from the back and bottom. I'm just guessing.
Maybe someone could post or email me a pic.
thx

Done ( allmost)
I say "thing", cause a model is never really done in terms of :
You'll find something to tweak for the rest of your life.
So I had to force myself to back off and start laying out UV's.
I tried to post it in the upload section, but it's forbidden (for me). You can download the actual model ( with most of the UV layout done) at my website:

the ship it self is nice but in the the post where you show the wireframe the cockpit is going through the ship itself.
A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

AHA
it's not a bug, it's a feature. According to my pics this part of the body is bottom is intersecting there.
Neverless, nothing else is more easy than deleting faces :bandit: - Get rid of them if you like
or in the tongue of a well known jedi master:
..come the time to delete faces it has... :p

great model. Its really coming along nicely.
Your not alone on this one buddy........
I've learned much from this tutorial also.
Although i'm finished with the modeling/texturing, i'm using this model to learn about diffuse mapping, animation, mental ray approximation editor & other stuff.
I'll post the completed animation/model when I'm done.
Working on particle exhust right now!

Looks cool
looks really cools ! I like the light from the right on the wing, Seems like there is a sun nearby.
maybe you can give ma a hint with the particles for the thruster. Toyed around with a volume prim and some light source but looks nasty..hehe
had to rebuild the complete wing cause texture is streching like hell when i convert to subD
haven't slept for 30 hrs now...this thing drives me nuts :headbang:
cheers
