Quote - I did the UV work. In my defense I had to make the model, make the UV's, Paint new textures from scratch, Build a rig, build the morphs. I really tried my best. I know I'm not perfect at all aspects and, UV's are a weak-point. I did really try though. I also thought I kept the price reasonable for a figure I spent well over a year creating.

 

Oh, well I'm not gonna go off about it anymore and I apologize if I came off rude about it. I was angry at first and I could have been a little more tactful about it.

You did a pretty good job with the modeling, I'll say that, but seriously... man you should have gotten someone to help with the UV mapping or at least looked around at how people generally do it.

The warping isn't that  big of a deal, but the lack of attention to relative polygon scale is something you need to think about next time around, not to mention allocating enough space for areas that are going to need detail.

Well UV mapping and texturing are my thing and I can make this usable for myself at least in a couple of hours, plus I was planning on using it in Softimage and Maya anyway.

I'm surprised there haven't been people raging about this. Well unless there have been and I just haven't seen it yet. I'm even more surprised RDNA allowed this to go to the store. It makes me think twice about buying anything from them again, that's for sure.

I'm not upset anymore though, really and I'd still buy it again even knowing what I know now. If I were planning on using it in Poser it would be a different story, but I have to do this sort of thing all the time  so it's not a big deal.

But again, congrats on a nice modeling job!
