Texture Preparation - Game Character Development with Maya - page 529

Note
Exporting the UV maps does not mean that they are set in stone. You can
edit them further if you like, as will be demonstrated in Chapter 9 , “ Tex-
ture Painting . ” Just remember that the images you export are the UVs at
that stage, so if you drastically edit them before texture painting, you may
need to re-export the maps.
Summary
You now have the two models completely mapped and ready to be textured. This chapter
