Painting in 3d Coat
So in these two videos you will get the opportunity to watch a couple of different approaches on how to build a quality UV map for your object that you have created in Maya.
Please note that you DO NOT have to do ANY UV maps in Maya any longer. You can just simply bring in a mesh that you have modeled in Maya and create the map in 3d Coat. This eliminates all of the heinous work in Maya trying desperately to create a good map.
The work flow in 3d Coat is simple easy and straight forward. As you watch the videos i am sure that you will agree with me. 3d Coat is simply amazing
