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

Here is the first Character that I have ever modeled. These are pics of a High-Res version. I have a Low-Res version that I am currently trying to Rig, it also has a few tweaks to it. But I'd like any opinions on this version at the moment. Thanx.

Wow... I hope you mean first model ever in MAYA. It's really good. Only thing I would change is the head. Seems a little flat in the face. Great work -- Keep it up!

Its diffrent I'll give you that. I think that using a blinn shader for him will make him look like a statue. Other than that good work.

Thanx everyone. Like I said before I am still obviously working on it. I am slowly but surely working on texture maps for him, but unfortunately I need to finish rigging it first. So that is taking up most of my time.
As for the blinn shader, I just put a basic blinn shader on him so that I see I could find any mistakes in the skin as I was modeling. The color on him is actually from the lights in the scene, just used to accentuate his details.
