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

alrighty user added image thanks for the info

by the way subds are great but i godda say nurbs are better for cars and stuff.. so if you got some artifacts on your model i think it whould be easyer to rebuild it with nurbs again..
why? cuz, for me atleast sub d car meshes tend do be very Very heavy with all the edge creasing n such.. of course this all depend on your skillz user added image but i guess mine arent that good.. good luck anyway user added image

o yeah another pro for rebuilding with nurbs..
you can relayout the curves directly on your nurbs surcafes and the loft and birail the whole thing back together.. thats should make it easyer do get the redone one to resemble the original..

o well user added image it'll look sweet whatever you choose

the program i used is a little small company program that no one uses.. its pretty crappy.. Its called maya.. you probably never have heard of it.

but seriously.. i use maya for the mac currently, but maya can be run on pc, irix, and linux.

to get it... you need about $2000

go an check out https://www.aliaswavefront.com for system requirments, as well as pricing.
