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

October Challenge - 3dgurl - Normal

I may not be great at animation but my Maya knowledge is more than enough to put me in the Normal category >_<

I will use the Roar.


Here is a quick drawing of my lil guy the marshmellow man-thing:

Most likely yes.

Since I want his arms and legs to bend in a cartoony sort of way I will not be using IK. I will create some set driven keys though and do alot of the movemnts by hand joint by joint.

Here's his skelly.

A spline IK might work for that kind of curvy movement. Good job!
