Initial First Render (Old Texture) Mudbox Preparation Attempt Final Photoshop Texture New Texture Added Render and Skin Attributes Edited Maya Texture View Final New Texture Render  After taking a break from finishing Jetpack Jones I decided I wanted to have one last go at trying to complete the face texturing part of the tutorials, as I was unable to complete it due to an issue with my initial models UV's.
