When building my robot, I worked on some of it at home, when
I fully built the machine I went into college and the file corrupted, this meant
I had to start from scratch again, so the whole of my Thursday was building the
robot again, I don’t know why it corrupted but after I built my robot again, it
was making Maya laggy and there wasn’t any huge really why it would be so
laggy, so Katy let me used her laptop where it worked perfectly and I could
create the UV'S. I have never done UV's before but found a way when wire framing
to make it easier than unnetting the mess that was there, You select the faces
on the front (or back) now here else and then click on Planlar mapping, because
my robot body was relatively square and flat, I didn’t have to chance anything,
other than the size to fit the UV map. When I was doing the arms and legs which
are more rounded I used Cylindrical mapping instead, where I did have to chance
things, so I had to rotate and make it smaller or bigger and stretch it, and
when I think it’s right I just make it smaller to fit into the UV mapping.
Then after I finished the UV mapping, I saved the picture of
the UV mapping and put into SAI, a drawing tool I'm more familiar with than
Photoshop. I made the wire frames visible and put in a new layer, turned down
the opacity on the wire frames and coloured over using the air brushed tool,
colouring wasn’t hard since the robot is meant to be grey and have red eyes,
but once I finished this I put it onto the robot and it perfect.
