UV mapping

Recently i have learnt UV mapping in maya, its a little bit complicated at first but i was able to get used to it, i managed to UV map the whole of my tower, though some parts may need remapping to make it easier to texture. i am happy with the mapping so far!




here are 3 UV templates i have made the highlighted parts on the tower on the left side of the screen show you which parts are on that particular UV template. i can save the templates as image files, this makes drawing the textures a whole lot easier!





this template is a bit messy and could use some rearranging..

after i did all the UV mapping i decided to remake the railing on the balcony, it did not have enough detail for my liking so i remade it, here is the new railing:





i still need to UV map the new railing but it shouldn't be too difficult!
