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

Adding detail
Is this typical in modelling, can I just delete the rest of the edge where I don't want it?
Thanks

I seem to run in to this problem alot when modelling, where I may need a sharp edge at one particular area, but the edge loop then continues on around the model, affecting other areas,
if you know what I mean..

Here I wanted to adjust the corners where there was a bevel edge.
I deleted what was there and beveled again. Does the bevel created below look incorrect to you? It seemed ugly to me, so I deleted the extra edges created and re-aligned.
Does this seem more correct?
Thanks

This is most useful when you when to tighten the corners of holes in curved surfaces or where you have areas of high edge density moving into narrowing areas and you need to reduce the mesh density.

yes, do itI think we need a sticky for simple little geometry/topology tricks like this. I know there's a topology sticky, but it seems to be mainly human heads. I always get tripped up by rerouting loops, dealing with tris, ngons and other simple little things. I'm sure there's a ton of good tricks out there that can be demonstrated on planes and cubes.
