hey Vlad, thanks for the comments user added image

Well finished textureing, i will move onto building an old sowing table now that it will sit on. Then a grandfathers clock to go on the wall.
p.s
None of the background will be there, or the table, its all temp stuff, just to get some nice reflections.

yep the chord man, nice!!

I really need to have a good go with MEL, are there any tutorials out there that ease you into it?

I've had previous programming with C++ which I hear's similar?

Nice work on the mouse to dude.

yeah gster, if you know c++ it will be very easy for you. ones like me, who avoided programming like plague in college find it very difficult. :headbang:

Well heres a small update. Just a test render to see the position of the mouse. The other mouse will be standing on the handle.
I dirtyed up the phone a little too.
I might have to remodel the mouse again a fair bit. I stuffed up.
I exported him into zbrush and added some detail, then when i imported him back into maya, the geometry is too high to do the uv mapping. Dah.. everyone knows to do your mapping before you go high res :headbang:
Oh, well im going to give it a shot a uv mapping at this res. Besides the mapping wont have to be perfect because the mice are a fair distance from the camera.

cheers all.

well i did the mapping, and think i got away with user added image
I wouldnt recommend mapping a 25,000 poly model lol.
Its not perfect, but it will do for the distance

yeah, it looks good, but be sure to resise the uv's for the feet if you want the same resolution there as for the rest of the body has.
