I am trying to paint a texture map in detail with Photoshop. the uv map is not ready, or it appears not to be.How do I separate/unwrap these uv's for easy texturing in Photoshop.
View 7 RepliesI 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.
I have polygon object that I created. I initially started with a cube and then extruded faces until I got the final shape I wanted, which is a tree.
I've been trying to paint some paint effects on the tree but when I make is paintable and try to paint on it I get problems. I paint on the surface and everything looks fine. As soon as release the mouse button my curve and paint effect jump to the base of the tree. No matter where I paint on the tree.
I am using the paint effect - grass clump for my eyebrows. I will not go over the area i have painted on even though i have made it a 'make paintable'.

View 2 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.
I have a lava texture and a ground texture. I'd like to be able to make some cracks on the ground texture that would show through the lava texture below it. Something like a cracked mud look. I would be using this for a game I'm making form some terrain textures. Are there any plugins that would aid in making these transparent cracks and perhaps even add depth to the cracks?
I guess a spider web where the spider was on crack would be something I'm looking for. Similar to the following image:

I have a problem when I am modeling my character or rather the character from the animation academy. I have created an NURBS sphere and I want to adjust it to the arm, so I go to the component mode add some isosparms and then it happens!!! I can´t move any vertexes... but in the object mode I can move the hole object.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to model a car dashboard, not the wheel or gears but the big shape you hit your knees on if you sit in a car. Following some simple box modeling to get the basic form, apply turbosmooth, add some edge loops to get the right amount of curvature on some edges, great.
I'm miserably failing the next step, which is adding in details like lcd screen and vents. But even something as simple as making a crease that goes left to right across the whole vehicle, since those loops end up breaking the smoothing and the nice subtle curve is gone.
So next I tried geting the basic shape and adding an edit poly modifier on top then another turbosmooth on top of that. But it's getting very out of hand with the amount of faces.
Another idea was putting in the detail first on a flat plane, then using FFD 4x4 to bring the curve back, but then I'm not able to pull out the pieces that came from the box modelling method, how the armrest area comes out from big piece itself.
Am I missing a method of doign this? I don't want to have to resort to just unwrappign it and adding my details with a normal map. I want to use real geometry, and I've seen some great models in the past with this kind of detail, but don't know how to get there.
I was wondering if there is a way to cut out geometry using a texture map.
So lets say you have a quad thats uv mapped. you apply a black texture with a white dot in the middle. Is there a way to cut that circle out using a method that just aproximates the shape?
I would be using this for complex stuff. I understand its a crazy question but I figured no harm in asking. The only thing I know to do is to apply the texture and then in the viewport just hand cut. But its a lot of stuff to cut so i'm open to any shortcuts and tips.
I have a model, pre-rigged and textured, in FBX format, that I'm importing into 3ds max. Here is the problem:
The model is an angel-like character, with wings. The wings are a single texture, and the model didn't import with transparency, so the wings look solid, instead of with transparency between the feathers.
There was no alpha map included with the model, and I need to make the wing texture include transparency for the open parts.
How, in 3ds Max 2014, do you create transparency in a texture without a separate alpha map? All I have is the diffuse map.
i performed a proboolean on a wall, put the windows and door aec objects in and evertthing,.. i m tyring to put some brick texture on the wall. but the pro boolean deeestrooooys my uvs, and i cant do anything, cant unwrap can put a box uv modifier nothing looks good.. is there any remedy to this??? should i have used pro cutter or regular boolean?? is there a certain setting i should have used?? is there anyway to cut out the shapes for the windows and the doors without loosing my uv integrity?????

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?
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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've unwrapped the uvs and am correcting the texture on a model. The model is essentially a building facade on a plane. The plane has a single large texture of the facade applied to it and that works fine. But I'd like to use another texture for a small area. I went to uvw unwrap> faces, and selected the area. Then I applied proj>planar map with x axis, turned off plane map and went into the UV editor and loaded up the new texture from "pick texture". The uv editor shows it fine. I make the adjustemnts and then leave the uv editor but it's not applying the nex texture in that area, instead it's applying thw whole facade to that small area.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 3d scan, its a dense mesh with a messy texture map.
I want to retopologize it by hand. Is there a way of automatically re projecting the old texture map back onto it from the 3d scan?
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem applying a planet surface texture to a geosphere.The problem occurs both with and without UVW mapping and it is the first time I have experienced it.(I'm assuming it is something that has been ticked somewhere that I cannot find)
The planet surface texture is a flat space view map. Usually when I apply images like these to spheres it perfectly wraps however this time it is confining the image to one "corner" of the sphere.

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)"

Sent to Mudbox working fine and i can see all uvs and so on, however sent back to maya with UVS and textures giving me hard time, whatever i do it always send it to maya with black textures. I have 3 layers on normal,spec and diffue...
