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

Did alittle work on the EVO. Trying to get both headlights lit up. They both have the same texture on them, and one's glowing more than the othe. What gives? NE one have any ideas?

I think that the black car is way too big compared to the other two and the cars are too big in comparison to the petrol station.

Also are you going to do a proper road texture? the one atthe moment just looks like a very quick hypershade job... user added image

are the cars rigged yet? it would be interesting to see some renders of some animations.

So bigger gas station, or smaller cars? Which would be better? I think making the cars smaller would be best, cause the station was made along with the rest of the city, and the cars were imported into the scene. Yea, all the textures are just quick hypershade jobs/temporary. No, the cars are not rigged yet. Thats on my "to-do" list. As soon as I get them rigged, Ill make a short little anim. for you guys. user added image

I love it!

How about creating a big black poly block with the overall form of the car, and putting it inside?
That way it would not look like a car shell, but a bulky car -with weight-

Yea, I dont think Mental Ray supports Sub-D's. user added image

You should put an intercooler/radiator in, cause you got a big front grille, and you can see alot inside the car that you shouldnt be able to see in. user added image

Wanno uh..send me the file so I can put it in w/the rest of the cars? user added image

Yes, Forum. If you smack your head, into a wall, its going to hurt. And it depends on what kind of 'kups' your stacking user added image

Yea, it should stay a blue color, cause it looks pretty good that color. After 24 minutes of rendering, got the Honda CRX added to the scene. user added image

Also, make the cars abit smaller.
