Modeling in Maya was a great learning experience. However, adding the texture was what i enjoyed the most. The photo above is the Planar Mapping of the entire bird including its legs. As much as i enjoyed this process, it was challenging to predict how much the texture would stretch once it was placed on the model in Maya.
