help! maya uv sets and layered textures

shark2003

hi all
i have been trying to do get this problem solved but i can't do it.
Thing is about uv linking and texture layers.

I have 2 different sets and 4 different layers on a layered texture node, but whenever i try to link them together via uv centric, nothing happens and an error pops in the script editor.
something that has to deal with strings data. i dont know what it is.

Im using a mia material x passes.

What is the specific error? Maya will complain about certain image formats, and I know I've had problems with PSDs in the past. You could try a different image format, like IFF or TGA or something Maya has a history of supporting.

Also, dumb suggestion - did you try using Texture Centric UV linking?

whenever i try to use the relationship editor, Texture Centric UV linking, the error pops. says something about string type. Im using tga format for this. Also i noticed that in the texture centric thing, when i select my geometry, the list on the left and right are greyed out.

Thx btw
Alex

It would be easier to say if you would post the exact error! (hint hint)
