I show how to make character UV MAPPING a simple process in this short tutorial. using the new Unfold 3D tool found in both Maya 2015 and Maya LT 2016. It makes unwrapping a snap! In addition, I show how to create UVs even more quickly using Maya 2015's BONUS TOOLS!
UV Mapping is necessary to convert a 3D object - like our character model - into a 2D shape, so that we can paint on it. In a way, the UV unwrapping process is akin to disassembling the character model.
This same workflow should work for the new Maya LT 2016 release - Autodesk has added the Unfold 3D toolset to the program!
