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

Fighter / Bot

This is a model for a sword fight (read light saberuser added image )I'll probably just duplicate this model and change the color of the armor for his opponent because I'm itching to start the actual rigging/animation.
Still have some details to add and do something about the shoes/boots - they look lame to me but aside from that its nearly done. Childish and totally unoriginal but will be fun to animate user added image Any comments/crit welcome.
Cheers

Intimidating body-size.
Impressive figure.

I'd love to see some loose fitting clothes/robe onto the body on top of the figure.

cheers for the comments appreciated user added image

bjekx: currently redoing the legs and boots - those images are rendered with antialiasing, but I was a bit heavy handed with the jpeg compression so it looks a bit rough.

Markuz: i wanted to go for a stormtrooperish look, but not make it too blatent.. going to add a few bits here and there to it - will upload a new pic later on user added image

Nice work! user added image


And for mumbo, you can give glow to a material from his attribute editor at the special effects rubric.

thank you user added image the glow in the eyes was just a blinn shader with the incandecence turned up a little. wanted to use the glow intensity attr in the special effects tab, but mental ray doesnt seem to like that (since the glow is a post effect)

Kev: maybe one for rigging/ animating(assuming i get it right user added image ).. modelling was same methods weve covered in previous tuts.
