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

sorry guys, im new to all this jazz. Also it isnt an assignment, im not at college. But believe it or not, its a christmas present for mr younger brother. He likes cartoons (as all kids do)
This is my second animation attempt.
Wow 1 minute really is nothing!!
However, im rendering it at home on my p.c using my electric, and i pay the bills hehehe.
even so, i dont care now, if you say it took you 30 mins per frame, and 8 mins per frame, then i dont care.
Thanx guys. One way i have worked around it though, i have cut rendering times by keyframing the visibility on my background planes! Which shave quite a few seconds off.
Now i know that im gonna really start playing wiv it.
thanx again!

Maybe the grass should be a inch taller? Otherwise, add some trees so we can see what you style you're looking for.

I usually have renders taking anywhere between 30s to 1.5 hrs per image/frame

I managed to slightly modify the tree on the right hand side, but i will work on it today and keep you all updated.
Im getting mixed feedback (which is fantastic), but do i keep the stubble? Do i leave it? lol.
I'm thinking about putting fur on him. As he is rigged, how would i go about this? Do i have to detach skin then re-attach, or can i just apply fur?
Keep it coming guys. You guys are awesome help. Thanks

all ya gotta do is select your object, choose fur-->attach fur description-->new
just to see if it could be done i created a sphere and a simple rig and skinned the sphere to the rig... and then i applied the fur and it worked fine *shrug*

No fur, except for one bit, very strange.
Ive done it before with a sphere. But as this is not my rig, im confused as to why it wont apply fur all over
???
