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

Cant really crit as its a bit hard to make out what things are etc because of the lack of materials, like you said.

thanks joopson! Well, the table is a modernistic (a.k.a. ugly) furniture peice that actually looks like it "defys gravity" (or that's what the designer said, in the magazine I found it in) :p

But you are right, it is a bit cluttered. I think it is because the chairs look like they were abandoned. I will fix! Also, the lamps, the lamps, the lamps. They look like crap. I just have to redo them.

Thanks for C+C joopson!!! I really appreciate it! user added image

ok. This is semi-final. Need to fix a material or two, and need to render for longer (5 hrs here)


C+C please before I get to the final

thanks Joopson, but I hope you know that even if you can bash this scene as BADLY as you can, I would really appreciate it, and it would really help.

A guy on the Indigo forums c+c'd it, and I will soon be adding:

•Window Panes
•Electrical sockets, cables, etc
•A lamp on the bottom shelf
•A different light angle that illuminates scene better
•A Less Clear Sky

i suggest you add something on the coffee table, to add a point of interest, at this point my attention is everywhere, so add a vase or something on the table, lol......


and maybe some light coming from the lamps, that would be awesome:attn:
