Gnomon Workshop UV Mapping 101 Maya UV Techniques with Kevin Hudson

In this DVD, Kevin guides the beginning modeler through the concepts and complexities of the UV layout process in Maya. It is essential that UVs are laid out properly so that 3D models can smoothly proceed into the texturing process. Starting with the fundamentals, Kevin prepares the viewer to take on a project as complicated as laying out the UVs for a house. He covers editing the UVs in the UV Layout Window, projecting and editing on a stretched cube, cylindrical and spherical projections, and the principal of using "material splits" as a means of organizing different parts of a model. Intended as an introduction to production UV layout techniques, Kevin's many years of expertise inform this clear and precise lecture.

Topics Covered:

Planar Projections
Automatic Projections
Proper Size Ratios
Layout UVs
Cut. Move and Sew
Material Splits
Cylindrical Projections
UV Organization

Chapters

1. Introduction and History
2. Basic UV Editing
3. Planar Projections
4. The Cake Plate
5. Pipes
6. UVing a House
7. Conclusion

Simply Maya AH 64 Apache Combat Helicopter Texturing

Genre: Video Training
This is a unique tutorial series and there's nothing similar to it available online today, as it's a 29 hour long complete project covering modeling, texturing, scene lighting, rigging, animation and compositing of the AH64 Apache Combat Helicopter. Throughout this project you'll learn lots of useful techniques in all different fields of Maya that you can apply to your own work. Because this model has such a high level of detail and the project will take a long time to follow through with we recommend that you have some previous modeling experience before you start on this tutorial series. You'll learn how to build shading networks for models and environments and lighting up complete outdoor scenes, both in Maya Software and Mental Ray with Image Based Lighting. We also look at how to post process renders for stills and animations, work with render layers and passes in compositing, color correction, motion blur and luminance depth. The Apache tutorials do not come with scene files, being a complete project we take you through the process of creating your own scenes. In this section we cover the UV layout and texturing for the model and creating the environment it sits in. You will learn how to work with shading networks and illumination for a complete scene rendered in Maya Software as well as production techniques for post processing a still render.
 Creating a CG Sky with Environment Textures & Cloud
 IPR Rendering for Material & Light Tweaks
 Creating Shading Networks in Hypershade with Procedurals
 Adding Mountains to the Background
 Rendering with Maya Software
 Complete Scene Lighting
 Using Depth Map Shadows
 Render Layers
 Render Passes
 Editing & Compositing Final Renders in Photoshop
 Adding Fake Fog, Air & DOF in Photoshop using ZDepth Information
