Unwrapping and Texturing large projects
Hi, so I have a thread going in the pimping/previews forum, and had a few technical Q's to ask some more seasoned veterans of the game. My project is going to have a lot of nuts and bolts all over it, and so far, I've just been using instances for all the copies. But when I go to unwrap the parent, all the uv's will be the… -
[Maya] Rigging two different pivot points on one object/curve?
Hi guys. Maybe some of the riggers amongst yourselves might be able to help me out on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Other than that I was on my computer every single day and ended up making a scene with a character and several vehicles.
