"See if you can pickup Michael McKinley's book The Game Artist Guide to Maya. I've ordered this one but it's not arrived yet."

The very book I'm working through just now. Actually, just finished UV mapping the character after an all day session yesterday.

It is a very good book, though I've got to say there are one or two places where it is infuriating - he will sometimes take steps that he has not explained, but that you can see in the images - though generally, excellent.

Moving onto the skeleton next.

Re you comments on UV mapping - yeah, I figured it was beyond the scope of the forum. Good to hear that I'm not the only one who finds it difficult though. Thanks for the post.

Cheers,

gubar.
