Maya UV maps problem

lauratnx · Nov 2012

Hello everybody.
I am trying to solve this problem since a month.

I am doing a pair of studded boots in maya, i made the studs (the uv map is the same for all of them).

When I try to combine them all together,
my map results corrupted!

Here the screenshots:

Before combine them (all selected)

After combine them

Did anyone got the same problem and solved it?

Could be a case of corrupt geometry.
Can you upload your scene?

Maybe there is an option in the combine function doing this?

Delete history, it looks like it is going back to the default mapping of a sphere but subdivided a bit.

You may have extra UV sets associated with the meshes. If you have something other than the default map selected then when you combine meshes maya will switch it back to the default one. You can still find the other one in the UV editor, if you hit the UV sets menu is there another map in there?

If there is another map in there, you can simply copy the UV's from the new UV set to the default one (if you have to use that one for some reason). Use Create UV's -> Copy UVs to UV Set and then select the default map while you have the UV's selected in the new map.

Hope this helps!
