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

I think this was mentioned anyway after Disney took over, 5 or 6 films in the next few years.

Cash cow maybe but at the end of the day its business and Disney/Lucasfilm are essentially business's.

The way I look at it is that it will generate jobs in the film and VFX industry, something that is needed in the current climate to help pull us out of the doldrums. So lets not knock it, we ourselves could end up working on a Star Wars Film, not a bad thing for the cv is it now user added image

I really did like the JJ. Abrams star trek. I found it relaxing and I re watched the movie last week with the whole family.

I just wish the whole world would dump the crap that is 3D films.

Really I actually do enjoy it. Dont get why people don't like it. Its the only reason I got to finish Transformers 3.

Totally Agree Jay.

I'm not for or against it. I don't even notice it after the first few minutes of a movie...




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Good for the industry I agree Jay...sadly I wont be seeing any of them at the flicks...costs too much mate and part of that reason is the exorbitant prices put on to make these films.

Cheers bullet
