uv island problem in maya or something else?

primnull

did my best on an unwrap of a simple object to become a noteboard, cork board sort of thing.
i made a simple diffuse but i see it being applied on each different part of the model.... the board itself, the sheets, etc. feels like a simple error along the way somewhere. can someone please help me?

Looks like you unwrapped each face to fill the UV space, but the big island is split down the tri and flipped. What do your UVs actually look like?

Maybe you somehow accidentally created an extra uv set which is being used by your diffuse channel? The flipping going on in the main board part might be a duplicated and flipped face doing some z-fighting? Maybe some kind of graphics card issue...

If you move the uvs around, does the texture position update? Maybe you're unwittingly doing texture projection? What software are you using?

In that first pic, what software is that? Do the textures display correctly in Maya before exporting? Maybe something simple like freeze transform/delete history will help, or even triangulation if the target doesn't support n-gons.

using autodesk maya and textured in photoshop
ngons aren't a problem because this won't be smoothed

Looks like you might have either an extra face in there or a "Cycled UV".

wasn't another uv set but I did find that solution worked to a similar problem I had recently
couldn't figure it out, OP question, so I reset scene and settings and went from there.

What is a cycled UV?
