Texturing XYZ fabrics - Arnold Maya Help !!!

KurtPoly · Feb 2017

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with my dress. I've followed the tutorial on how to attach the fabric onto the mesh but when it renders, the bottom part of the dress starts to stretch the fabric.

I have a perfect UV Layout so i really don't know what it could be

Can someone help please

Whenever i move my uv shells. It changes the rotation/size :S

Its perpendicular to my shells so i don't understand...

Your UV is very compressed along the bottom (and along the neckline). This will stretch the texture.

I'm guessing that's a small lip; we do see the checker pattern displayed normally.

The cloth pattern doesn't seem to follow your UVs at all. Are you using a projection for texture? Is there another UV set at play here? And what about the crazy colors in your UV screenshot? I can't easily explain why moving causes it to rotate and scale instead- is this a static mesh or is it weighted to some skeleton or deformer, maybe without a clean history?

Yeah it is a small lip that goes in slightly that's why the UV looks compressed.

Sorry if I'm not explaining well, I don't really use Maya.

- My mesh is static, brought in by obj, deleted its history

- The crazy colours is my ID map. Don't know why its showing the ID map :S

- Not sure what you mean by projection, I'll look that up now

Found what the problem was -.- Had to basically do it all again and render each step to see what i did wrong. On the displacement node, i deleted the extra node to connect it to the other node. I was wrong...

Good catch! In that first picture, place2dTexture50 on the left has a connection back to itself, what's going on there?

Followed the tutorial lol The guy said it's more efficient to do so because of the tiling. Didn't work for me though :S

I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm a little curious what this tutorial said. Can you explain?
