In this DVD Dominic Qwek will guide you through a fast and efficient workflow for unwrapping the UV's on a complex organic creature mesh (the creature he modelled in his Advanced Modelling DVD). The DVD is structured in two halves, in the first half Dominic covers the “traditional” workflow used in 3dsmax 7.0 and earlier releases. And in the second half Dominic moves on to show how the new features of 3dsmax 8.0 such as Pelt Mapping and its enhanced Relax Tools can be used to accelerate and complement the processes shown in the first section of the DVD.
This DVD is intended for advanced users and requires an understanding of the principles of UVs and a good working knowledge of the UV Unwrap tool featured in 3dsmax. The workflows on this DVD can to a large extent also be carried across to other 3d software such as Maya and XSI.

Chapter 08: Hiding The Seams
