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

Sheriff Character

Hi Guys
I've had this posted in WiP for a couple of weeks and this is the final job before I move on to my next character. For those of you who have not seen it before its a character for a graphic novel I'm hoping to 'get out there' asap, its basically a sci-fi spaghetti western, enjoy the image

Looks awsome. I think a small adjustment like Mike said is not a bad Idea. To me it looks like his legs are a bit sort and his torso is fine.

I really love the txtures. You also have great modeling skills.

Hi Guys
Heres a front ortho, legs are okay, maybe just the camera angle plus the back of the jacket is showing between his legs as well. I use reference from a pic I have of Reid Richards from Fantastic 4 for the hero proportions.

Thanx

wow ...
perfect ...
i like the facial expression very much. gimme me another year or 2 (i am serious here) user added image

skol,

luke

ps i: i fully understand how you feel ransick

ps ii: proportions are pretty good i think mike. head fits approximatly 7.5 times in body. making it fit 8 times would make the character somewhat more "monumental" though ...
