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

Very nice, much better. With regards to the projecion mapping, are you using the one from the essence book or something else? Im intrigued as it something Ive been wanting to look into, I'd appreciate any light you can shed on the subject.

Cheers
Jay

Thx for the comments guys.

Jay, I actually purchased a video from gnomon called "Texture Painting: Fundamentals" by Paul Campion. The guy is not as thorough as the Alex training videos, but its enough to give you a good grasp on how it works. The amazing thing is how quickly you can create a realistic texture.

Here is an update. All maps are done. Added some shoulder thingy. I might add some actual hair (fur), not sure.

You going to give him some hair, via fur/ paint Fx? Be good to see it on the model!

Hi Guys, thx all for the comments. I added fur and a bit of skin surface on the inner side of the eyes. It actually helped eliminate a shadow that was forming up in there that wasn't looking good. I may play a little more with this guys, but I think im ready for the next challenge.

Cheers
