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

Depends on how long short is, if it's verbal non verbal, the wanted realism, do you want to do it alone, how much time do you have and how is it spread etc etc

Let's consider ;
you have 15 weeks and an x amount of time, you probably don't have much experience in 3d, i don't what it's for or if it needs a theme of some sorts, but i would start out with simple shapes/characters(like the blob) nothing to fancy.
