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

Planar projection via the camera direction

How amazing is this!! Only just found it, and am really impressed, sorry just had to get that off my chest. I'm pretty much using it for everything at least to start off my uv layouts!

Planar mapping maps the uv geometry from either the x,y or z axis though in the camera setting you can map from a non orthoganol view ie, in your persp window dolly around until your looking at the piece you want to map, however it looks in your persp window is how the uvs will look when mapped. Hope that makes sense.
