Whenever I embed media into my model, it embeds the texture as a TIF. The texture is originally a bmp, so I don't know why it changes it to TIF.
Is there any way I can change this TIF to TGA or something else when I export?
Using maya 2013/MR to render with the optimised texture(the converted .map textures in sourceimage/cache)
i have done some tests on this issue, and kind of confirm my maya 2013/MR would not utilise the .map textures at render time, whereas in maya 2009/MR, i can clearly see the render progress window indicates that the .map textures are being used at render time; plus, with maya 2009/MR, i can see obvious memory drops when batch render with the optimised textures.
Why maya 2013/MR would not use the .map textures? or did i mis some new setting somewhere with 2013?
I have an imageplane attached to a camera. If I use an image, it shows up in all view-ports fine, however if I change the mode to texture, nothing shows up, either in dx11 or opengl mode. It is there though, and correctly referenced, as it shows up correctly when I render.
Am I missing something, or is it just broken?
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.

Somehow they seem to have disappeared completely. There are no nodes in the utilities tab, and expanding the network to see inputs and outputs is not showing them either.
I noticed recently that the textures in one of my scenes are very dark in the viewport with "texture view (number 6)"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to make a symmetrical texture map for my character.
For example, I want the arms of a character to share the same texture pattern.
But I can't place the UV shell corresponding to one arm on top of the piece corresponding to the other arm because it doesn't match without flip.
If I'm trying to flip this shell it becomes shaded with a semi-transparent red color. But all UV shells must be shaded with blue and have a clockwise winding order. Am I right ?
Is there a way to reverse the winding order so the UVs match the original half's without physically flipping the UV shell on the U or V.
No matter what changes I make in the UV texture editor, the texture on my model doesn't change (with the colors I put on it until I finalized the UV map, it would be pretty obvious). But nothing happens. Move UVs, Rotate UVs, Scale UVs--does not change the texture on the model.
Am I missing something? This all used to work just fine. Is it a setting change? Is this something caused by brining a Maya2010 file into 2011?
while working in "UV Texture Editor" and i select the shape, i keep getting a warning down at the bottom that says "//Warning: Some items cannot be moved or rotated in the 3D view." how do i disable this warning? earlier, this message wasn't showing up, but i must of pressed something on accident and enabled an option somewhere. The rotation box up in the right hand corner is gone too.

I can see the red box, I can see the arrow cursor and when I click I see the little arrow and box, but when I use the mmb nothing happens. I've seen a video demo and it works there, but when I try it no joy, very frustrating.
I drew a shape with the bezier tool and filled it in with the planar tool resulting in a shape that the Outliner calls a PlanarTrimmedSurfaceShape - I can see the texture, but it's wonky.
so in the texture editor. as far as i know we can only move the verts around (with F12). we can select edges, to see where they relate on the mesh, but we can't move them. is there any way to move edges of the layout??

I'm using Blinn Material and hypershade to bring that texture to the eyeball, but every single time I try it, it comes out enlarged (see image attached). I've made sure I click on the Planar Mapping key before I try to copy the image onto my eyeball. I've also tried modifying the size of the image on Photoshop but not luck. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7.

View 5 Replies View RelatedQuery on rigging, more to do on skinning. If my uv is a multi uv layout (0-1, 1-2 and so on) for a model then I am able to get the maximum size of texture for each part of the model.
When I take this to rigging then the model gets a default bind skin properly.However when we try to paint skin weights it starts behaving erratic after some time.I feel this could be due to the multi uv set feature.Is there a solution to work around this?
For certain and obvious reasons i need to delete history, problem is since i never deleted it, certain problems occur, like the very binding of my character to the skeleton is undoed, is there a way out of this mess, i just want the texture to stop moving when animation starts.

I'm not a Maya user, but our employee that is, is out of the office. I have models I need to export as OBJ models but I'm having issues.
I've enabled the plugin for the objExport.mil by checking Loaded and Auto Load.
I go to Export All and locate where to export the file.
It exports a 1kb file with nothing in it.

I have a human figure, created in Maya, which has been rigged with both bones and muscles.
After it has been posed, is it possible to export the skin of this model without it losing definition from the lack of the maya bones/muscles?
I know that it can be exported to Mudbox, but is this the only place it can be exported?
I am trying to find a way to reproduce a model created in Maya (or Mudbox for that matter) as a physical object (via 3D printing).
Yet no one seems to have much experience with this, and tools like "Inventor" don't seem to like working with things that are not solids (i.e. not polygon meshes, sub-divs, or NURBs).
I'm new to Maya and the 3D design environment. I'm going thru the online tutorials and built the sample Greek temple. I have a MakerBot replicator 2. I did convert the Nurbs to polygons for the column bases and the temple roof. I exported the individual pieces to obj format to print. My question involves the export of the roof/torus group. The "roof" is not smooth but slightly faceted (I'm not using the correct jargon here I'm sure). It's kind of tortoise shell like in smoothness. What do I adjust during export so the rood object comes over smoother?
I'd attach the roof file but the site doesnt allow for some reason.
I created 3D text in Photoshop CS6 and exported the mesh as an obj. I was able to import the obj file directly into 3DS Max 2013, but could not import it into Maya 2013 and 2014, because both versions cited incorrect data. Is this a bug or user error? Obvious workaround is to use Max to re-export, but would prefer to have it work directly in Maya.

I guess a spider web where the spider was on crack would be something I'm looking for. Similar to the following image:
