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

Video Card

i'm about to buy a video card, but I don't know which one yet.

I was looking for something reasonable and good, that works very well in maya.

What if you had a budget of $800? Which would you recommend?

Been looking at the Wildcats and Quadros and can't make an informed decision.

And now with the improved Hardware rendering in Maya 5 this confuses the situation for me.

Pros and cons of each?

Quadro FX. Looks mighty fine.
And being one top of the line, hell, you can expect excellent mid-term support for the product.

**EDIT** Sorry, ... I missunderstood the thread, the Quadro FX 1000 ranging from 750$ to 900$ might be a bit overboard for the current 300$ budget our friend told he had. So I guess it would have to be a more scaleable solution, and perhaps not so big in scope.
