i have used maya for the uvs trying to have good skills in uving in maya improving by time, i can barely use uv layout though and 3d coat uv system much easier and faster but as i said uving in maya is really enjoyable
i love uvs man

thanks for your comment racoonie,yeah am trying to pull a caricature on him

[Sparky3d]

i see very visible seams :S

[omarpac]

the head and neck are one piece sparky the shoulder seam is showing because he will wear a jacket on top as for the seam on the head it will be covered by hair but its far away from the forehead area thanks for your notice

[Sparky3d]

Oooooooh...hehe the nice thing about that sculpt is that you can see character in him, looking forward to see him progress

[Clintus Maximus]

Very nice. I'd be curious to know how you did that.

[omarpac]

thanks for your comment clintus,
can you be more specific my friend and tell me what is it you want me to elaborate more on?

[v3rtigo]

its really amazing, how did u made the render?

[omarpac]

the render was done using maya mental ray
i used one area light for the key light a directional for the back lighting
and reflector cards around the model
there is a camera exposure on the camera as well as having the fg turned on
if you would like i can post the snaps of the scene inside and show you the shader as well
cheers man

[omarpac]

more work on the shader comments are appreciated
