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

Wow, wish they had this when I was doing my Minotaur user added image

Looks like a ton of fun!

Thanks Jay. Saw this one back in zbrushcentral. This is absolutely brilliant and it gives you control on the export. But I am not sure if these will be just pure polygons OR if you can convert it into guides and gives you more control in Maya. Never the less, this is awesome.

zbrush only missing thing is a dedicated render system and how you setup the materials.
I am not a big fan of the BPR to be honest.

haha, am i the only one who thinks this looks crap?
the example of the man made me chuckle.
the hair shader looks really over reflective, and it all looks a bit spray on.

hehe samples in my opinion are always crap. Its down to the individual artist at the end of the day

I think it is a poly output...good for stills (for now)

Ive only seen the one shot so far in pixolators announcement post on zbc and, I was with Dom.... A bit dubious and skeptical I think. But yeah....it won't be long before some of the beta testers or other community guys come along with some good uses I reckon.

I'm kinda with Dom... it didn't look too stunning yet, but I'm sure it will get better with time. I know the demos don't always give the best possible output of a tool, but they should be using the best possible scenario... and with something as technical and engine-driven as fur they should be producing close to the top with their demos.
