NEED HELP FAST!

gbenchar

Hey has anyone ever seen this before? This is the outcome i get when adding a texture to an object in maya 8.0. I have assignments due, and this is making it extremely difficult to get them handed in, in time.

Please help me fix this problem.

You've not explained at all what it is that you want to achieve here.
I can only wildly guess that the default UV's upon primitive creation aren't what you need, and you'll need to make your own.
Either that or this texture doesn't look like you intended . Either way, more info required

Pedro Amorim

lol?

Jarrod1937

what school you going to? remind me never to go there...
it looks like your've applied no uv coords youself... although as daz said, we have no idea what you're trying to achieve anyhow, need more info.

Joao Sapiro

i can tell you the problem, but you see, its a secret

CheapAlert

perhaps your texture is the incorrect color depth

Asmuel

Looks like you havent assigned correct uv's if any. I dont use maya, but generally in 3d packages if you dont assign uv's to the mesh and just select the image to be applied to the object then it will project the image from one axis and repeat it all over the place.

Thats just a guess, but I think you should probably ask a classmates as they can sit at a chair next to you and see exactly whats wrong otherwise more info is needed for a diagnosis

all you need to do is tighten the graphics. then it will be fine.

Open the Polygons shelf, select the sphere you have in your scene, and then click the Cylindrical or Spherical Mapping (whichever you prefer), adjust the properties so it covers the whole sphere, and you should be set.

that ad was hillarious

It was actually a bug in the program. It had nothing to do with the textures or the UV's. I was simply using the sphere as an example with a random texture to show what the program was doing. You guys obviously had never seen this before.

thanks for the input tho.

gbenchar

The sphere was simply my example of an object to demonstrate just exactly what the program was doing when a texture was applied CORRECTLY. Your smart ass comment however, is appreciated.

it was not our fault, but yours. you were not very detailed at all. it sort of like me asking,
"here is my model, and i have a problem, can you help?"

gbenchar

I am aware it wasnt "your" fault. It was something that unless you had seen it before you wouldn't know how to fix it, or exactly what was happening. At the same time to go out of your way to insult my institution and me, is ignorant and immature.

Daz

Call me stupid, but what exactly *IS* the problem?

fritz

STUPID!!!!!

low odor

Geez Daz You've obviously never used maya before..you did all those Bond models in milkshape didn't you

durrr

Oh-oh this thread is about to turn into something good! :P

Mark Dygert

I think the problem is a hardware issue. It's a piece of faulty hardware between the keyboard and the chair...

Vailias

ahh the PEBKAC. great deamon of tech support centers everywhere. almost as bad as the ID-10-T error.

gbenchar

You guys are all comedians eh? maybe you should look into that instead of continueing to model. By looking at some of your sites it looks like you would be a lot more successful on stage then in a studio.

fmnoor

Way to shit on people who were trying to help you despite your vague plea for help and demands for immediate answers.

gbenchar

It amazes me what you guys consider help. People do not respond well to sarcasm. For those who weren't complete dicks about my "vague plea", thanks. To the others, thanks for being complete ass clowns, you truely are beauts.

You posted a picture of a sphere with a funky coloured texture map on it. You said 'please help me'. It genuinely was NOT and still isn't clear to me precisely what was wrong with that sphere.

Twice I asked you nicely what the problem was. I now no longer wish to help. I hope you figured it out on your own. Oh and yeah, welcome to polycount. You seem to be able to provide some valuable in depth critique on peoples portfolios, so why not hang out in the P&P section a bit more?

aesir

hey gbenchar. Fuck you.

coming from a guy who can't texture a sphere? Ok, I'll keep that in mind.
