Digital Tutors - Getting Started with UVs in Maya 2011

In this series of lessons we're going to take a look at the basics
of working with UVs in Maya.
UVs and UV layouts are important aspects of creating textures
for our 3d models.
They let us tell Maya how to apply the 2d images we create.
Having a good uv layout can really make a difference in speeding
up texture creation and optimizing your results.
