In this Maya 2018  UV mapping tutorial I'll show you how to UV unfold a mesh. For this exercise we will be unwrapping a book cover, taking care over the placement of the seams, texel density and orientation of the UV shells. As a bonus I'll also show you how to create a UV snapshot and texture the book in Photoshop.
