Game Modelling - UVs

With our game model character completed, we have also laid out UVs with Game design principles in mind. Namely, the UVs are combined together on a single sheet where repeated parts such as hands and shoes are left overlapping to mirror, effectively maximising texture space.

Maya Character Workshop #03 - UV Layout

Here we have laid out the UVs for the character ready for texturing. Learning new techniques such as unwrapping and relaxing UVs will prove invaluable in future.
