Hey cool stuff.

Yeah I am gonna texture the lot, not just the bits seen, but Im not overly fussed about genitalia being done or nipples etc as its not what Im after with this character. I'll most likely do those bits just to add a textured nude character to my reel, nothing else.

Ive got three version of this girl in mind (which I cant say right now, all hush hush) but 'plumbing' etc wont be seen in any final versions, so sorry to disappoint anyone reading

Cheers
Jay

I was wondering Jay. Is there anyway to paint over seams in maya? Or any tricks to hiding it?

I was thinking about offsets in Photoshop, how you can paint offsets to make patterns. Would that work with polygons if we just applied it as a shader, instead of painting in on the uvmaps?

Not quite sure what you mean with the shader. You can do it in PS by painfully going to the last 2 pixel rows and painting a solid color

but If you buy the DVD for GI texturing which I did for SM, it will tell all that Maya can do with seams. If not PM me and I may let you into secret of a well hidden tool that seems (pun not intended) to go un- noticed alot

Thanks guys, gonna try and push this forward now...The lashes are poly. I have an old tute I stumbled on at home which I got from Alias's site a few years back. Its really very good. You use animation and a mel script to generate them from a poly cylinder. It saves hassles of fur hair and PFX, and you dont have to worry about what type of renderer to use.

I'll have a look at Alias/Autodesks site to see if its still around...

Oh my head...bit of a scare with a lump under the scalp about a half a cm down, thought it may be something very nasty, fortunately it was a ruptured gland/folicle, so have a 2 inch scar and a few stitches etc and a pain in the head at the moment.

Thanks for asking dude...

Jay
