An updated introduction to UVs in Maya


This is a more recent rendition of the introduction to UVs I wrote a number of years ago. While the original focused more on the fundamentals, this guide discusses newer tools that have been added to Maya in more recent versions. Note that the final section of this guide references Maya Bonus Tools, which is loaded by default on the computers where I teach. If you need them for your own version of Maya, they can be found here: Maya Bonus tools 2014-2017.

Finally, the original documentation I wrote can be found here.


Introduction to UVs in Maya

This is another example of some very early documentation that I wrote for a slightly younger audience than normal. I believe this dates from 2011-12, but mostly goes over the fundamentals of UVing, so should still be valid today. I've also posted an updated version of this documentation that covers newer UV editor tools which can be found here.


Modeling and texturing plants in Maya

This is one of the earliest bits of documentation I ever wrote. It's interesting to go back and see how things have changed over the years. Also worth noting that this was written for a somewhat younger audience than my normal fare, so if things seem a bit overly simplified, that's the reason why.
