So I'm trying to pull together my first 3D character artist demo reel and fast. I am just not good at setting up UV maps without screwed up seam issues at this point. I don't mind the idea of texture painting, but usually my textures get all fouled up because of bad UV mapping. I'd like to avoid UV Mapping/texturing completely for the time being, but I'm wondering whether you can actually get a character artist job today having a demoreel with no textures. I feel like UVLayout would probably help me out as far as experimenting, but I can't afford to get that now.

Any suggestions would be great.

hmm depends on the job you're applying for, if you want to be a modeler it really helps if you can show you know a bit about uvmapping, texturing, fields in the same area, as opposed to programming...

I'm in the same position, I hate uvmapping, and I don't always get it perfect, but I think if I can show I can do a bit it will give me an edge over others, right?
