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

That pic was just a composition "test". I will be using a different and bigger city picture for the final, and the tank will be closer.

mc-fleury: Thanks for the comment user added image I was hoping to have some modeling updates to show earlier this week, but I have been busy with some other stuff. I don't really have a whole lot more to do to the tank. I have got to make myself sit down and finnish the detail work on it. The deadline is approaching.user added image

Cheers t1ck135!user added image Should have modeling updates to show today; however, finding a better and bigger city pic has proven harder than I thought. I hope I can find one for the tank before deadline.
