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

Yeah, I am starting to feel comfortable with Maya after these few months, and am loving it. The glasses are polys, but I copied the front lense in place and added really high specularity, and shrunk the eccenticity, but then cranked the opacity, so they really dont show until light shines on them. I also added a sample node and linked it to a seperate spot by light linking so it makes the bright spots glow, and the other sections show less, and are blurred on the front lense - totally an
accidental by-product
The second lense behind is the same material, but with a swirl in the ambient channel to distort the character's eyes =) I am studying everything; so now it is shaders, and they are amazingly powerful!!!!!!!!!! I am so
lost in Maya. I still need to succesfully composite though
