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

Destroy on impact - possible with Dynamics?
The idea is that the spaceship will impact the ground and come apart "realistically".
The problems with this are:
(1) The gravity field acts on each of the parts individually, the spaceship starts to come apart during flight.
(2) I cannot control the spin of the spacecraft as a whole. Applying initial spin to the parts causes each part to spin independently of the others.
My question is: Can I build my spaceship out of individual active rigid bodies but group, parent, or in someway control them as a whole. Ideally I'd like to be able to attach the spaceship to a motion path and when it impacts the ground, have the dynamics take over and explode the pieces.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
That'll do donkey... that'll do...

Pretty sure that should work, anyway.
