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

with this much time (almost got 2 months left) I really would go to town on a full body one.

This has to be one of the most origianl entries on here so far and I like were you`re going with it.

I think only a full body will do here.

Thanks.
I didn't like the way the breatplate looked so i am redoing it. I am trying to have an aztec feel to it. I am going to make it out of alot of complex straps and stuff. Here is a picture of the helmet on the body. I probably will do the legs too

This is looking cool - though at the moment the arms and body are looking a little too 'human' for me, compared to the head. I guess I was just expecting the body to be a little more alien - maybe you could beef it up a little or add some more mechanical elements. I know it's early days, so apologies if this crit is a little premature.

I also think that the join between the head and body is a little disjointed at the moment - I think the whole head could do with being pushed back a little.

Great avatar by the way...

Thanks,
With the body i was trying different styles but they all looked bad. I am not really sure how to make it more alien at the moment so any ideas would be helpfull. Good spot about the head, i'll fix that now.

To make him look more alien i am gonna add scales and stuff in Z Brush (If i can make the filesize low enough.) Here is an update on the armour for now. I have also made a few changes to his face (Not that much).

Damn, it does look like a hand bag. It is actually a ropey thing with part of a skull on it... I may have to change it cause my brother also thaught it was a handbag too. I think 4 legs would be a bit hard to manage but maybe alien looking legs.
