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

He may have gotten older but he's still gangsta as hell lol, I really like stealth games like MGS and tenchu etc, much better than the repetative hack and bash single player action titles, don't get me wrong, co-op shoot em up/blow em ups are fun too.

I saw some trailers... supposed to be a great game.
I'm going to have to stick to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - My computer won't run anything newer with more then 3 frames per second user added image
(For some areas of SCCT I have to use thermal vision so that my computer won't leg itself to death... user added image - I find it hard to feel sorry about it)

Far Cry 2 went out recently - It's supposed to be the best FPS since Crisis (I remember the first Far Cry - I still want to play it sometimes...)

Its only for PS3 isnt it, BennyK? I loved the original, i dont think the second one was as good but it wasnt bad (the gameboy colour version isnt half bad either)

All the games I mentioned also have a PC version (maybe besides MGS, I'm not sure about it).

Another great game I forgot to mention:

...co-op shoot em up/blow em ups are fun too.

How about hack em' up? (Prince of Persia anyone?) Warrior Within was my favorite. It too is just about the best my computer can run.

Is MGS for PS or for PC as well?

Benny, as long as its not a totally brainless single player I'm good. I was really excited about Assassin's Creed, until it pre-ejaculated, total bummer.

i never really used to appreciate games until got into 3d and me and some friends decided to make a game(it was a total disaster,thebugs OMG) it was then that i really appreciate everything on mgs its just pure perfection but as a stealth game i think splinter cell still hold it down-it never has a great story but the gameplay is only something to be mirrored for years to come
