so i need to collaborate. Thread

ive got a problem.

im Using Maya, ple 6.

im making a mod for crysis.

i do not know how to properly do uv's in maya.

and i dont think MAYA ple 6 can export into other formats that i need like .obj, or .cdb
it only saves into MAYA format.

haha. if any one can help me out with some of these problems that would be appreciated. and btw what do you think of my work so far?

Btw, the man here, the male figure was not modled by me, the best biped creatures i can make is a chunky looking robot.
but the vest was modled by me, im going to add many more things to him.

i have more, but there just dynamic objects that will be in the game, like sinks,medical equip, you know theme fillers.

then theres the Weapons, characters, buildings.

Hey nice work, keep on modeling! Unfortunately if your using the PLE of Maya you cannot export as an obj . However to make a UV is fairly easy, unfortuantly maya by default is not the best way to make a UV (at least for my workflow) but if you go to the Polygon menu in the dropdown menu..then go to create UVs you can use the maya defaults for planar cubic etc...Then go to edit UVs and then UV texture editor, from there you can see your layed out UVs and you can make changes in whatever UVs you made...aside from that if you do decide to get Maya then get Roadkill UV unwrapper, Its free and really nice to use. Also I would reccomend if you can afford it and your a student it might be worth the 200-300 to buy the student editon of Maya (if you like maya so far that is ) Hope this helped!

Why don't you try Xsi mod tools Its free for non commercial use and you can export to crysis. There are also some free tutorials on the noesis website.

thx guys, yea i figured that. i do have Xsi mod tools, problem is its going to be awhile till i can get used to using it. not to mention it likes crashing like a delroy without a helmet. im starting to get into the Tourqe eng . intresting.

but regaurdless of my inexperinces, i am still looking to put a team togehter to create things of intrest in games we play today.
