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

horizon indicator...I think I have one to go (which is similar to this) which I think is the attack angle indicator or similar.

cheers bullet

Then that should be about it and onto the flight instrumant panel.

Yeah, it's always nice to switch to other type items but all those controls will be worth it in the end. Can't wait to see all those controls and switches on the actual panels, it should look pretty good.


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

Thanks mate,

it is satisfying to sit and doodle..so to speak. No booleans...bahahahahaha just on the circular cutouts..too much hassle. The poly count will be high but I dont mind..its for a model. I guess no tutorial makes it sorta better as you arent constrained so to speak.

I tried a panel last night but didnt like the shape so I will do another....might do 3 or so and then post and see which one gets the nod.

Thanks mate....yeh I was going to try that too...just a pain extracting...then cutting..etc etc but if there is another way..try it. Like Surveying..spending too much time on one thing means you get in poo later on.
