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

Thanks everyone :attn:

I'm going to redo the displacement. I am considering just modeling the detail in maya. I worked some more on the texture mapping in z-brush.

Here is a new render minus the displacement I added in a blurred background. This has Final Gather, and an outdoor HDRI.

Here it is with displacement but.. the fur on the horns isn't moving with it.. so I'll prolly have to come up with some other solution.

so I think I'm going to model some spheres and wrap hair around them, in the original picture it looks almost like the knots are sitting on the head anyway.. and I doubt with hair on them you will be able to tell...I will only displace the eyebrows and veins in the ears. I'll add some fur systems for the eyebrows and ears also and some whiskers ;p.

holy CRAP thats good. But why cant you just convert displacement to polys? and then put the fur there?

Thanks Matt user added image

I've tried importing the high rez z-brush .obj instead of using a displacement but it kills maya. Not enough memory in my comp to render it. I think I'll be able to get a more accurate look modeling the knots in maya because of the fur thing. I'll still use a displacement, just not on the horns.
