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

Very nice looking helmet. It's looking really great. Can you rename this thread to X-Men or something? That way anyone that wants to model a character can just add it to this thread.


Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

Thanks you perfecto
Im trying to go fast because I know you are like a steam train once you get going and great quality. How meny times have I posted then noticed the the model still needs tweeking......dave

Edit:I think there would be some hard edge modelling also, the centinals, xmens air craft and scenes

I know you can draw bullet, all you have to do set out the poses (drawings) in A nice way, I can do the rest in photoshop but if some one else would like to join in and do the comp........dave

Edit:If this gets of the ground it will be like a little taster of what work will be like because you will not always do what you want but what some one is paying you..dave

that is a awesome idea - a joint WIP. do the models have to be fully textured and all? i would like to participate - and sign up for the model of the sr-71 blackbird - something to hopefully look like this:

Hi BadyDuck
Could you model the x men jet plane look simular to the blackbird see link below......dave

Edit:Sorry Bullet must have posted at the same time, what I ment was set out a poster (drawings)so we have a idea what poses we might need, I think that would be the logical way to go

dave, that is the x-jet of x-men 1 - the one in x-men 3 is almost identical to the x-men 2 x-jet. arghhhhhhh.

now i see what "do what they pay you not what you want" means - i did have some high res blueprint for the xf-71 including profile curves ....

oh well - trying for the x-jet from x-men 2 - since i have a pic that says its from x-men 2 and no guess work which version it is ....
