Maya :: UV Texture Color Won't Show Up On The Model
Mar 4, 2013I created a model with UV textures.
I loaded in a lambert with a psd file on the model.
But none of my drawing from the psd file will show up on the model.

Query 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?
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 problem with Paint Skin Weights Tool. Maya doesnt show colour feedback so when painting weights I am not able to see almost anything.

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?
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)"

Its about a game called Minecraft ( its ok if you dont know what Minecraft is ) but anyways I got a texture online for a model I had. When I drag the texture onto the model it appears blurry. Everything else is fine except that its blurry. "set the interpolation of the texture to none". How to find the interpolation of the texture and what that means?

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 RelatedI imported a model from Sketchup into 3DS Max. When I apply materials to some of the surfaces, the scale of the texture varies from face to face, these are the triangles that make up a polygon. It's as if the texture is getting stretched or compressed in one direction or another. Other polygons allow for consistent materials. It seems to be random and I can't figure out what to do.

Isn't there a way to show your environment map directly on your model? It's pretty tough to show a chrome-like material if it just shows up a solid color in the viewport.
I did some searches, but must be searching for the wrong things because the only thing I could find was how to show the environment in the Background of the viewport, but nothing about on the model/material.
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.
Why won't it export the OBJ?

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 having a lot of problems trying to load a model I animated using Trax.
First I modeled and rigged a character in Maya and saved it as model.mb.
Next I created an empty file and referenced my model file into in. In the new file I created a character set based on all the rig handles. Next I spent a few hours animating some simple walk cycles and jumps, putting each animation into a separate Trax track. I also created a few character poses.
Last night, everything was working fine. I could select poses and apply them. I could enable single Trax tracks and play them and everything went smoothly. I saved and closed my file.
Today when I opened the file and tried to continue, none of the Trax animations I saved were working. When I try to assume a pose, the rigging moves seemingly random directions. When I enable a Trax clip and play it, the animation is all messed up.
I experimented today with a simple test file. I created a new empty file, referenced in my model, created a character set and a few character poses. Everything was working fine. I could select the bind poses in the visor and assume whatever pose I wanted without error. Then I saved the file and closed it. When I reopened the file and tried to assume the same poses, my character's limbs shot off in all sorts of weird directions.
What's going on? Have I lost my work? How am I supposed to use Trax is if this happens if I simply save, close and reopen Maya?
(The rigging was all nurbs curves with a little bit of Set Driven Keys for the fingers and feet. I also hid and locked attributes of the nurbs I wasn't using. The rigging mostly done using constraints, although I also used straight parenting for some IK handles.)
I'm not looking to RENDER wireframe, I'm looking to export a model as ONLY a wireframe out and bring it into After Effects.
Essentially, I am trying to bring an .obj into After Effects using the plugin Element 3D. While I'm aware I can simply import the model as-is into Element 3D and use the wireframe texture that Element 3D comes with, I was wondering if it's possible to just export a model out of Maya in it's wireframe state. I wasn't 100% sure if the wireframe state was just a view or not.
i'm currently learning maya 2011..my problem is that sometimes when i use the split polygon tool or the edge insert tool and some others A PART OF MY MODEL goes into wire frame mode not the whole model and even if i undo it still doesn't work..in the perspective viewport under shading i have selected 'smooth shade all'.
