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

yearly October Illustration

Well its almost October which is my favorite time of year and I try to get a hallowen "spooky" project going. So this year it's going to be something to do with Icabod Krane. The idea i have so far is the scene where hes running out of the bridge with a flaming pumkin chasing him from behind. We shall see where it leads.

Got the base all sorted for the horse time for detail

As always it looks great Kurt! Halloween is such a great time of year isn't it?

What kind of final image do you have in mind? Cartoony and fun spooky or give us all nightmares scary?
