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

Great work! This is indeed a beautiful model of the Audi TT 2007... You really put a lot of details and care in the modelling. Looking forward to seeing some texturing soon... once you finish with the last finetunings and you're happy with the completed model.

I really like it... and I would like to refer to twisteddragon33's post and agree with him that more details/insights on the studio setup would be great!

i think you should possibly use a dark charcoal for the car. I realize you havent tested it but its a great look especially for luxury cars. If not i would go with black.

Can you post your settings for the shader when you have a chance.

And i love the modeling, think we could get a poly count and do you plan on doing any amination?

Personally i think a 360 degree turntable would be great.

Oh and like the tires they look great. Are those from another job or did you make them for this one? Details on them if you like would be cool aswell as im sure others would like to know how you made them.

Ide like if you could check out my concept car ive been working on if you have a chance any ideas you could give me are welcome.

i think the dark gray/charcoal would be a tad bland.

ill post a screen of the shader graph if u want user added image

well smoothed the polycount is 200 000 + lowpoly i have no clue user added image LOL as there are 45000 for the tires user added image (each) no animation planed but i might do a 360 when i have finished modeling everything and happy with the render ( and maybe get anew pc LOL)

the tires are from another project but i use them for most of them as they work so why model new ones for evey project user added image. i made them by getting a tread pattern from the net and making one section of tread and duplicating it from a center point, then making all the verts line up user added image

heres the setup: i have two planes one curved up to make a "bowl" and hte other on top to make the white plane for reflection. both set to a white lambert shader with some ambance. then i have two directional lights one lighting the back fo the car the tother lighting the front front with shadows.

this might no help much but they user added image the shader graph

the grill is very simple its just cubes made the the shapes all the up rights and cross bars are sepirate then shaped to fit the prints, and combined to make it one peace.

i think it would look better if the front wheel was pointed straight, and i like either the normal black or white on this car.

don't stop there, keep going.

Looks pretty good so far.

I'm not sold on the render in the latest shot is it just a HDR map applied? (Looking at the background), to me it makes the car look a bit plasticky, also I think you need to play with the shader for the wheels etc.
