Thank you, Mike! UV Mapping is one of my biggest problems in maya. I don't have much time lately because of the college, but I'm glad for your videos and I'm also happy that your channel is getting bigger and bigger! Congratulations, and thank you!

Thanks so much Mike! I recently was emailed about a 3D modeling job and have to take an "art test" basically modeling and then I have to uv the object within 4 hours, I'm just really trying to secure this job, and I have to really brush up on UV mapping!

This was super helpful! I dislike how forums tell you what the problem is but doesn't state where to find the option in Maya.

Loving your new series man! It's answering a lot of my questions and I don't need to spend months trying to find what I'm looking for. Great job!

Thank you so much, very helpful. I'm currently in a college course learning this stuff for Visual Effects, so this is great.

This was a great video Mike. I should have watched this when I first started learning to model. Gives you a different perspective when you create models. Thanks!
