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

Looking good! I like that lighting effect. Is your bunsen burner glass? Rather cool.

How did you get the little flame effect?

If you actually wanted to use the fire effect you could just select the bunsen and then click "create Fire". You can then just move the particle system so it's above the object ( you can scale, move and rotate the effect just like everything else user added image ). You can then just play around with the settings, either way I like the effect you have there. Your scene is coming along really well, are you thinking of adding textures to your final render?

woo hoo - Tweek is tearing the joint up! very nice!

my 2cents worth of C+C is that things could look more "used". maybe you were going to do that with the textures later tho'

congrats on the new box

Looks great Tweek. I agree with H, make it look more used and dirty. Also, I would probably tone down the shinyness a bit on the glass things, check a piece of glass in strong light for reference.

Tweek this is coming along great! Dude the ammount of effort you put into this scene already, the lighting and everything is superb. The only thing thats running through my mind is its like a kid took over his house and turned his moms kitchen into a science lab. I would roughin up those cabnets if not remodel them.. unless you are going for a kitchen/scientist look. Add more chains user added image. Keep it up though, great work.

As to the rest of you.. I have been quite busy and taken away from the computer because some old old friends came over to stay a couple nights and basically i have been spending all my time with them. So this is one of the few, if not the only post i will make in the challenge area for now. I'll be checkin out all your models (or most of em) later today, user added image.

I agree with Moderator about the clean kitchen feel. Maybe the cabinets should be full of junk, some without cabinet doors even, and the space besides the cabinet could be occupied with book shelfs and stuff. Maybe add some blue prints and sketches about what kind of science project is he mad about.

I have the same problem as you with photoshop, it seems like there is no decent books or tutorials out there that completly explain the mystery behind texturing. Have you checked out a book call Digital Texturing and Painting by Owen Demers? It's one of the better ones out there, but I'm still looking for more.
