I tried resizing them within the UV space but this didn't work because I also need them to have a high resolution so I can get detail in Mudbox...
I basically want my UVS to look like they do in this picture...

I'm having a problem with the transform of my model every time I import/export through maya and mudbox.
Basically every time I import a mesh from maya into mudbox then export to maya and back my mesh is shown smaller on the grid, I've done everything I can think of in Maya before exporting by centering the pivot, freezing transform, and deleting all history, but I still get the same result and my mesh just gets smaller and smaller?? I've also tried resizing it as well and get the same result.
I'm using maya 6.5 and mudbox 2011.
Maya 2012: When I export to fbx all I get in the end result is the shape. No colors, no texture, nothing else. I've been through my two books and YouTube.

When I use the standard mudbox base head, no issues. It paints as it should. When I open my sculpted mesh portrait, same workflow and it gives me much darker image as the video shows.

I am trying to create a AO and Normal map of the same model with different sub d level but with different UVs but when I do both my UVs are all mixed up. Is it possible or i need to have the same UVs on both model? what are my alternative?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI encountered one problem with mudbox.I have finished sculpting and texturing my high-res model, but after extracting the texture maps, I realised there are some overlapping issues in my uvw map.
so i modified the uvw map back in 3ds max, exported the model, and import the new uvw map into mudbox. Due to the modification of the uvw map, the texture maps kind of screwed up on the model as they are not aligned to the new uvw map. I figure there might be a way to store the texture map information on the model into some place, then get it to reapply onto the model after i reimport the new uvw map.
I've got Mudbox 64 bit and every time I create a new mesh the texture seems flat (Image Included) I've recently upgraded my system from 32 bit to 64 bit, and I never had this happen with the 32 Bit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Maya 2013 and Mudbox 2013, and try to use PTEX painting in order to paint my character.
Anyway, for some reason, I'm getting visible coloring seams and distortion along them when trying to color with a stencil/stamp over some regions on the model.
Usually, texture gets distorted around extruded regions on my model, and if that's the case - the whole benefit of painting seamless texture goes out of the window.
I tried increasing/decreasing PTEX resolution, also searched in this forum and tried also edge bleed reduction/increase - unsuccessfully in all. Seams are very visible and texture is distorted.
Now, maybe it's something that is related to the natural bounds of the PTEX technology, but maybe it's just some obvious solution I'm just completely missing.
My work process is importing models from Maya by using Send To Mudbox option, then setting up PTEX with the proper resolution and starting to work.
I have a problem with loading the paint layers on my object.
I created an object in another software and then imported it into Mudbox. Here I started painting the object, but when I close and re-open Mudbox I get the error: "Failed to load texture files both ... and ..." (my two paint layers). I had this same error two days ago on a similar object, when I moved only the ".mud" file to a different location, but then I realized I need to move also the ".bak" file and the folder containing the layers into that new location and the error was solved. This time, the .mud, .bak and the folder are all in the same location, they all have the same name but I still get the error. When I open Mudbox I just get my object as it was when I imported it, with no painting on it (even though the two paint layers appear in the "Layers" tab), and with the error mentioned above.
Can you texture a low poly model in Mudbox without having to subdivide? I've been using 3ds Max's viewport canvas tools, but I saw a video of Mudbox's cool painting tools, but the demo was done on a high poly model.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to selectively extract(apply disp to a mesh) tiles ala cyslice? If not...it would be very useful to have.
In my new little experience with other use of mudbox other that sculpting I still find it somewhat limited compared to cyslice. Also the extraction progress UI is quite buggy to me (at least it looks like it on my machine) as it doesnt update the status...and therefore you would think that the extraction process isnt working, but then, checking the directiory where the files are supposed to be saved, MB is actually doing the job.
And about the transfer detail to a new topology, is it possible to do it selectively? I ve tried to freeze, hide, areas that I dont want to transfer the detail to but nothing..still the whole thing gets transferred.
it is windows8 64 bits.i can't send anything to mudbox.The button is available,but when open mudbox ,there is nothing.

I've tried numerous workarounds, including pasting into a new document, making a new layer, and even deleting the rest of North America to eliminate the possibility of file size or memory limits. None of these workarounds has worked.
i'm desperately trying to export some curves from maya and import them in mudbox, but i can't get it working. i tried exporting .iges files from maya, because they are supposed to support curves, but mudbox won't import this kind of file. .fbx files don't work, because they do no support curves. How i could achieve importing curves to mudbox?

I’m using mud box 2013 and maya 2013, I’m trying to send a model/mesh through from maya to mud box by clicking the mesh and then file > send to mud box > send as new scene.

Its as if its imported nothing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am editing some artwork in PS. I use quick keys to go between: b,e,g...(brush, erase, paintbucket). As I move through the image I zoom in and out with key strokes. I haven't figured out just what combination brings up a compass, but when it appears my canvas (not the image, but the whole canvas) kants to one side or another. If I see it in time I mess with it to get it back, but as I don't know what it is called I'm having a terrible time looking up how to control it and set it back to square. It seems like all the layers are okay within the image, so nothing is out of registration, but I don't know what is happening.
Any tool that is activated? Then I can figure out when to use it for real and how to undo it when I don't want it. I'm on a Mac Book Pro using Master Collection 6 and the touch pad. It seems like my finger motions might be triggering it. I have tried to step back, but it wasn't an option. Undo didn't do anything.
I recently downloaded Photoshop from the Cloud. When I try to use the text tool the whole canvas turns black. I can turn it back on by toggling the eye open and shut on the layer but when I try to write text again the screen turns black again and soon as I click the image.
