Mudbox is flipping maps?

Will Faucher

Hey,
So I am having an issue with mudbox where it is flipping all my maps. (See pictures. Any idea what is causing this? This is in Mudbox 2010 by the way.
I just can't find a way to flip the maps in the UV view. Thanks!

never seen this before...
are you sure your uvs are not inverted..?

Will Faucher

yes I am sure. My UV's are correct, it is the actual map that is flipped.

how did you get that asset into mudbox? did you use fbx or obj. its a long shot but you might have some funny transforms on the object which are messing things up. you might want to try an alternate import format

Will Faucher

It is an OBJ. But it's like I said, the UVs of the object are fine, the object has nothing to do with this. It is the map itself that is flipped. I tried flipping it in photoshop and bringing it into mudbox, but it just flips over again. Pretty weird.

So I figured out what the problem was. The maps were fine when opened in photoshop, but were flipped when imported into Mudbox. The reason was because of Crazybump. For some reason, the maps I saved from Crazybump were the only ones being affected by the mudbox flipping. So I brought the crazybump generated maps, and just resaved them in photoshop. Bam, problem solved. No idea why though.
