just curious, but why did the limit get increased? someone seen the model and liked and - and just gave you a higher limit?Originally posted by gazzamataz
f50 I see what you mean. Just create a poly shape for the wing and then put a well detailed texture onto it - I might try that later. My poly limit has been increased to 2000 now so I am gonna stick with it as it is for the moment.
keep up the nice work on him/it

Mike, thanks for the tip. I realise now that I have started to colour in the map that I should use as much area as possible but I am not going back now - this has all been a learning curve and I am learning.
Dannyngan, same goes to you kid! I separated the bits out so that I could work out what each area was in Photoshop when painting. But since I working on my dual monitor setup, I put Photoshop on my main monitor and Maya in split UV/Perp on the other so I could work out the mesh better - one hell of a way to work - I really like texturing in Maya
.One thing I wasn't sure about though was how big to make the texture map. I made it 768x768, should it have been smaller or bigger?
BabyDuck, the limit got increased because of my cock-up with the poly count...This whole project was given to me as a challenge and I wanted to learn how to make a games character. Initially it was 1,000 polys when I made my error the challenger said it would be alright to keep it as it is. It's now just under 2,000 polys.
Tickety boo and ta ta for a bit...

Update!
Well guys n' girls I just got me 'Learning Maya 4: Games and Interative' book from AW for a whopping £24 - it's been reduced. I have only started to read it but it looks helpful! So was your tutorial Mike m8
I have soften the normals all the way and it makes the model look better. I didn't need to get the normals all pointing the right way they were alright first time round. Anyway here is as far as I have got, I could spend more time doing the texturing but I wanna get on with rigging now. I might go back and do the texturing all over again since I have just looked at a pro texture map and it knocks the spots off of mine. Here's the image…

I have realised on reading my book that I have made hard work of the UV map so I am thinking of re doing it - I want it to look as good as possiblle!
When I have rigged - I need a name - I am gonna do a walk cycle, a run cycle, a death throw, and idle cycle and a take off and landing cycle. That should keep me busy for a while.
What do people think, should I redo the UV? Yeah I think I will!

So here is the new map with legs, feet, arms and wings flipped and overlaid. This means I get to paint these bits once and I can make the pieces bigger on the UV map - great tip!
