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

Anyway, I just think the "toothy" version would make more sense if we could see more than a headshot. Toothy armor makes more sense than a toothy hat...

But i wanted a goddess type first, but i just didnt have the creativity for the armour, i actualy like it now, its simple and fits with the character more.
A little story about Mieke pronounced Meee keu
She is not a warrior, she is more of a starfighter. yes a starfighter
her father is Emperor of Ganabula, and for as far as he knows she is safe on the Enterprise Gaurd station doing medical research.
But with Mieke`s inflounce upon the General she can fly Starfighters but on one condition, that she has a minimum of 10 fighters next to her.
Thats Mieke
Thx for the comments james

i like the overall style of the character, but there are a couple of things that look a bit off to me. i think the pupils are looking a bit small - you should rarely see the whole of a pupil - otherwise it tends to make your characters look a bit surprised.
also, i think the ears are too high - really the top of the ear should be level with the eye (unless she has some freaky alien ears
) the outfits look great and i really like the way you've done the eyebrows. good job so far.

i wonder what the flickering was? you don't have two objects sitting on top of each other? i might lose the back ground as it's a bit distracting.
i really like the green head dress thing a lot. it looks very cool.
good job!

Its only one eye that has this problem, and i have used this same eye on every character i have used.
The left and right eye is 100% the same.
Ill try to to move the iris a bit back so its not that close to the nurbs sphere.
ill update this thread when i have fixed it.

the flikkering is still there, but less.
render is finished tomorrow, but here is frame 34.
Note to everybody the background collor is not the actual collor. Im still thinking of a background, suggestions are mostly welcome.

maybe you could use a similar background to the last image, but use a pale green color instead of red to bring out the color in her face.

how did you make the eyebrows - are they fur or hair, or geometry or just textured?
cheers,
