hey can u telll me after uv how texture the body symmetrically

and also tell how texture the body after uv unfold

[slorpthegillman]

@luqmanosama you can UV one half of the body then re-duplicate.

I recomend ZBrush Digital Sculpting, Human Anatomy, Scott Spencer for character texturing

hi.. how do you uv unwrap two hands symmetrically?

[slorpthegillman]

@HawxTeamDelta Make one hand then duplicate the other. OR UV just one, then use transfer maps to the other.

i tried to do this with a full but (excluding the hands and feet) and tried to cut it in half but it wont do so. it worked for the hand when i did it, but it wont cut the body in half ): do you know why?

Pretty good tutorial, and your narration has the perfect pace. It looks like you know what you're doing. Do you have time to make some UV tutorials for the latest version of Maya?

i only have maya 2008.

is there an older form of the smooth UV tool?

Awesome tut man, You have saved me on figuring out my uv mapping problems. Even have been trying to figure out pelting tools, but it has a lot of complicated settings for beginners.
