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

Maya 2012 is still on my shit list. My lap top has version 2009 on it and I have been using it. I am running through older graphics drivers trying to see if one fixes the problem in 2012. ND posted me a link to the actual qualification page for gtx cards and that one had 170.61. But it had the same problem where the display stops refreshing and I have to stop and restart maya. So I continue to seek a solution.
But I have been using Modo more and more and release 601 is very stable and has some killer features. They already have a superior modeling toolset and they still continue to add fantastic features, the retopo stuff is AMAZING! Better the any of the dedicated retopo apps I have seen in fact.
But I must admit I still like NURBs. I had not used them in a while but for that barrel support they are perfect. I can get perfect holes in the cylinder, with perfect 0.03cm rounds, and I was able to project a perfect hole that clips the part at the base that was modeled in NURBs, and then simply rebuilt the patches to the mesh density I wanted, converted the patches to polygons, combined, attached, added some control loops and perfect poly part.

Here are some of the detail shots. for some reason I had a hankering to model the safty wires and details that will hardly show. Also it gave me a chance to use a neat nurbs curve extrusion technique to create the twisted wires along a path. And they do look cool for tight shots.
I have not added much. I had a computer virus and had to reinstall my entire system. I still have to finish the rear sight details and model the tripod, ammo box, and ammo belt.
