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

uv's going very squiffy, havent seen this before
I really need some advice uv-ing this piece, its a card holder for a juke box. I've only used procedurals until now, and everything's been fine uv-ing so far, so sorry in advance if its something obvious. The front piece is quite a dense mesh (its not being smoothed) and the back piece has some faces around the edges but you wont see it so most have been deleted out.
I cut off the back piece and cut the corners in the uv editor, and the back piece unfolded vertically perfectly, but then the front piece goes really weird - any suggestions at all with this, i would be so grateful!
thanks

Also the mesh isnt very clean....as in its overly dense with polys on the corners there...it can be alot simpler
