Ankalagon, no need to apologise I understood your english.

Q1: Did I download or have the tutorial sent to me on CDROM?

A: I purchased the points then downloaded the tutorial from here:

https://www.simplymaya.com/movie_page...mhtml?cat_id=1

There are 2 parts - the head tutorial and the body tutorial

Q2: Does the tutorial include uv layout and texturing?

A: No. This tutorial is purely and modelling tutorial.

For a good tutorial that includes an excellent uv layout and basic texturing demo as well as a good modelling demo check out:

https://www.simplymaya.com/movie_page...html?tut_id=12

That is the modelling part.

The texturing parts are here:

https://www.simplymaya.com/movie_page...html?tut_id=34

I got the idea for the way I modeled my teeth from this tutorial and I can use the methods from it to layout uv's and texture.

I am not a good enough painter though to jump into texturing yet.

Thanks for you complements on the model I think Kurt Boutilier
does a very good job of presenting it.

The author of the Monster head modelling and texturing tutrials is Craig Daughtrey and he also does a very nice job.

Between the 2 tutorials I pretty much learned everything I use on this model except the use of shape objects to add the chest and abdominal details. That I picked up from a 3d modelling book. I think it was "Mastering Maya 3".

Cheers!
