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

A few questions... :D
1. What is 'bake' (in material terms? I've seen it when I was using basic fur tutorials, but I don't understand)
2. Cloth: When I tried to make my tablecloth collide with my table, nothing happened. Do I need gravity?
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give,
Chris

Baking is a process where a texture is "cooked" onto geometry to preserve and hold texture info, as far as I understand what I have read.
It depends if you are using nCLoth or Cloth:
nCloth automatically assumes gravity so it will fall when you run the timeslider, and all you have to do it give it a passive object to collide with.
Maya Cloth requires the field of Gravity to be added to force it to react.
