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 very good. How did you do the 'toon' effect, I've looked into this quite a bit but the examples i've followed turn out very poor and washed out.


If you believe in telekinesis, raise my right hand.

my one crit would be that I much prefer the chunky legs in your first post. The new legs just seem a bit too spindly.

Looking forward to seeing some progress. user added image

Really good, just try to make the arms size proporsional to the rest of the body, and make the butt a little smaller.....but it's becoming really nice :attn:

I do like the size of the original legs, so maybe try doing one with larger legs (more of a cartoon effect), and one normal like you have. The arms do need to be a tad longer, but I think (don't take me wrong) her butt looks fine. KUTGW!!

Expect to excell...

Okey here are some corrections I made, thanks for the comments, specially GAMESTER. I made the arms a little more strong and also the butt, or hips.. more small.. I think is looking much better, so thanks for that. So some pics.. some commets?

I also make the lower part of the gear in the legs, a little wider, a little bigger.. but maybe Im gonna change something down there.. something is looking kind of odd there.
