Good morning Polycount, I am Noobpaint. I have actually been "Noob" or "Newb" all my life. When it is your last name you just have to own it:) Anyway it has been I few years since I have done a character (at least one this low Poly) and it has been years since I have posted any art to a forum. Here is hoping it is like riding a bike.
I have been using max for year and I wanted to do something to get back into using maya. It really was not too bad, I was worried about UVing but automap and move sew are able to do 80% of what I wanted. If anyone can point me to any good UV plugins that would be awesome going forward.
I actually started the character as just a head painting SDK that I pasted around at work. I had so much fun with it I really felt I had to make a full character around it. I do think I am going to repaint or paint over most of the head now. I am not really happy with the visor. Not sure of how get the right effect with just Diff and Alpha.
Hope to get her all shined up over the weekend.
