Jan/Feb - Dae - Noob

I will be doing a character at low poly, I am not to sure about texturing as Maya is pretty new to me, any way I will post the concept later tonight and a few updates as well.

If you want to maintain the number of polys, you'd want to soften the edges. Edit Polygons > Normals > Soften/Harden Edge.

instead of having a hard blocky model, you get a smooth looking one.

You have to arrange your UVs in the top right corner.
