Problems with Maya (uv-mapping)

ander

Having problems with the new Maya, to be precise, uv-mapping. A little illustration (cmon, who will guess the first line?). Does anyone have a clue, what am I doing wrong?



Thanks!

I haven't used Maya in a while, but don't you need another node in between the map and the material, something like "PlaceImage2D"?
I might be way off there, though.

arent you better off just creating a new lambert then in the file slot choosing your texture?

ander

Hmmm, you mean creating a new lamber, picking color from the attributes, then file and then browsing my uv-map?

Well, I tried that. It's still a freak box.

Daz

Does it render broken like that?

I dont suppose you could have applied those auto-unwrapped UVs to a different UV set than the one that the material is referencing? which I think is called "map1" by default?

fmnoor

Do you have any custom scripts installed? I had an issue similiar to this. Fixed it by deleting the Maya folder in mydocs and letting Maya create a new one.

Noritsune, I will check it out, maybe I did so. :P

Fmnoor, no custom scripts installed.

Here's the render.

Make sure you don't have "Create new UV set" checked when using any of the UV mapping tools.

Hm, I had it checked. But that was only with automatic mapping. Well, I unchecked it, did the process once again, no change. Damn!

Daz

Your problem is really bizarre. I recreate your exact steps in under a minute and it works totally fine.
I assume by 'the new maya' you mean maya 8.0 correct?

You might try posting your files. I cant recreate the problem.

That is correct Daz. Anyway, here comes!

The freak box!

And the almighty automatic uv-map!

You have two UV sets on the object. The default upon creation and the one you made. Maya doesn't like to delete the default.

Select the cube>select UV set map11>polygons>Copy Uvs to UVset map1. Delete the not needed UV set.

OHYEAH! Thank you so much Daz. You just made me capable of modelling again! Much love!

And thanks to everyone, who even bothered to look this thread!

Daz

Justin hit the nail on the head really. You need that shit turned off generally.

ander

Oh noes. Same problem again, but somehow i cant delete map1,

// Error: The default uv set cannot be deleted.

When I move my model the texture starts flickering. Any ideas?

kodde

It might just be that you are never allowed to delete the "first" default map, the "map1". Then why not move your desired result to "map1" instead and delete the other map?

ander

Even if map1 is the only uv set it still goes crazy when moving, il post the model and the texture again and maybe somebody can figure out what am i doing wrong.

The texture goes crazy when rotating.

Make sure your object is selected
Edit > Delete by type > History

Reason it's messing you is because you have sh*tloads of history such as UVProjections etc. that are still projecting from a fixed point in world space.

Wooho, thanks Kodde!

Again smarter then before.
