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

Ok everyone!!! I choosen an entry, and let me tell you it was very hard to decide on just one with all the great entries. Each piece had something I really liked about it and I thank you all for participating.

The concept that will be in a Sm tut is the entry from "surfermcd".

The reason I decided on this character was I saw something in the first sketch, she had a lot of personality coming through which will transition into 3D well. As well as not being over the top.

I hope to have more contests like this for SM as well as 3D max once I start making tuts there, as its great to get members involved in the site as well as helping them develope their design skills.

Again a big thanks to everyone who entered, I'm very impressed with all your work.

Duuuude! I suppose cartooney is good but if it is realistic I have no problems with that at all. If you need more reference drawings I could whip some up - Although I have no idea what her profile would look like??
Thanks Kurt

It would be nice to see Kurt use a cell shader on this one.

I look forward to it.
