Tips on UV mapping in Maya?

Bside

Hey,

I know the basics of uv'ing in maya but I have mostly uv'ed fairly planar/low poly stuff. This time I need to UV some high poly asteroids and do my best to hide the seams. Any tips/tricks/advice on how to do this? Or any links to useful reading?

Thanks.

Problem solved. zBrush's UV Master. Omg wow?!

You could just try UVing the asteroids as best as possible using some smart 'Create UV based on camera' or planar projections, then try paint out the seams with projection. ZB UV master is cool but I wouldn't rely on it.
