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

good idea.. a good way for the chess board is just to ust the default checker texture on the lego modeled flat piece

Well, thx for the comment. I've done an old chess scene about some weeks ( but only for some tutorials about animation and texturing), so I decided to show an image of the old chess. Not to forget about LEGO, though.

All of these are Simply Amayazing! Great work Draven and Total!

*Gasp* Are you kidding? Chess is one of my favourite thinking games. It never gets old. user added image The good thing about making chess in 3d is that you can let your imagination go wild.(Obviously, since it's 3d) But what i mean is that traditionally, chess pieces are little knobby pieces on a board that don't really have any character. In 3d, you can do anything you want. You can make fantasy chess pieces, Car, Food (Yes! I've seen it! A slice of pizza was the pawn!) etc.. Chess is great!


Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

Well, chess isn't boring if you add a lot of action to it.
Talking about the chess board, i've only got it from a file that I've found on a website. For tutorials.

Total : For your lego character try to remove the smooth from every pieces exept head ... Legos have hards edges ... user added image

For the character's head , do not modelise the eyes and the moith , try to use some bitmap it's easyer user added image

Look a real lego character for the sizes of the differents parts like the arms

Well, long time no see, because I was busy with the Challenge Forum. I made the pawn, fully rigged, today, it still needs texturing.
