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

https://www.simplymaya.com/movie_page...html?tut_id=21

there are also some sites if you haven't been to them yet... that has info about UV mapping... e.g. this by Kniffen and the rest taht follows beneath it... user added image

Danny Ngan from this forum got this mel script on his site which should help with UV mapping... I don't know how it works or how to use it yet... I haven't figured it out yet... I can't get it to work... but if you can it might help in the process... user added image

Textureing

Ok got the multiple UV sets to work. Its a bit clumbsy but aparintly assinging a lambert or what not, only to the faces that are UV maped for the set works fast.

so hear is 2 - 2k quare textures maped.. one is for the face and there is one for the neak. just playing btw.. still need to unwrap the UV's good and really texture it.. Hell I'm hoping 2k texture is enufe for just the face.. !!! one of the final renders I hope to make 2600x3800 for print..
