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

Coolness mate!

It looks a bit blurred though.

i think the lights are too bright... i also think there are too many as well. maybe take a few of the light bulbs out and make it a little darker near the end. it'll create more of a mood that way IMO.

Now it looks like you took bulbs out, but you made the other ones even brighter. Lower that light bulbs. You should also try changing the color of the too. Like add just a hair of yellow to them. Little enough that it still looks white, but adding yellow will make it look more natural. Also it looks like the walls are reflecting the light too much. Also the seam between the walls and the carpet looks kinda funny.

Other than that it's a nice looking scene, just a few technical errors to work out.

I've been really busy, but I did do a little more to the scene, but i'm still working on the lighting, which is the hardest part for me.
