Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Kudo's for toughing it out through the uv layout.
I would rather chew my own leg off then uv unwrap a model. Just 10 minutes of it and all the life energy seems to be sucked out of me.
One of these days I will have to bite the bullet and texture map something though. I think the key is I need to start with something simple. I keep ending up with models that have a lot of extra surface detail (like beveled cubes) and then go bonkers trying to figure how to get a consistant texture on the surface.
Keep up the good work.

Another hour and a half of work. I finally decided on the base color and added the first layer of camo. I decided to go with the new digital camo look. Here’s some links to some pics:

I still have to add another layer of camo (of joy), dirty it up, and add the bump map.

Still got the dirt and bump map left. I might work later on it tonight, because I have to finish this tomorrow.

Why is the cameo so blockey? It makes it look like a really low res map, Also its not my choice of colour, but thats just opinion, but whatever floats your boat, looking good.
What colors would you recommend?Originally posted by Jr.Who

Here you go:Originally posted by gster123
See if you can find any refs of tanks in that get up to see hows its applied on them. The refs you posted have far more variation in the pattern than on your model, thus making them look less "blockey". And looking at the scale of the cameo pattern on the uniform and on your mech it seems like out of scale.

I was going to use the old school style, but this mech is obviously in the future, so I figured I’d use the newest style.

).Anyway, all that’s left is the bump and maybe some scratches (by using the burn and dodge tool). Does anyone know of a way to use the burn and dodge tools without messing with the original layer? What I mean is, I want to keep my original layers, and I want the burn and dodge stuff on a different layer.
Here’s a pic, but let me assure you, the HD version shows so much more detail.

I’m going to go and try to rig this one. I found some tuts over at 3DTrainer (thanks to Steve) and I’m going to follow those. Although, they probably won’t be the best tuts for this mech, so I’m sure I’ll have a ton of questions!
Thanks for all of the help you guys have given me on this!
C&C welcome!

Looks good.

Anyway, I worked about an hour rigging it yesterday (trying to get the right rig, lots of problems, etc.). It shouldn’t take to long for me to complete the rig and put him in a pose. After that, I’m thinking of animating him.
I’m going on a weekend vacation (from now till Sunday), so I’ll see all you guys later!
