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

Jr.Who - W.I.P. - Pirate Ship

Hey guys,

I've been working on this one for a couple of days and I really enjoy it! The Spitfire seemed like a pain compared to this one.

After I finish this tut I'm going to try modeling something around the house (as Steve recommended), but there's still 2 tuts that I'm really interested in. I wanted to do some training for more intermediate modeling, so I'm thinking of doing the Ferrari and Apache.

Like usual, I’m just going to put up screen shots, but when I get to texturing, I’ll be doing some renders.

A project not textured? That's hardly a finished project!

Ah, yeah I'm hoping that the UV mapping won't be as much of a pain too.
