Maya UV Display distortion(2 objects)

marcosfd · Oct 2014

Hello, so I have 2 objects(the second drawer is a copy) and I want to work with them in the same UV Map, but the problem is that when Display distortion is turned on and I rescale things(keeping aspect ratio of course)it gets red(more distortion).

I need to rescale things so they fit this tiny square(in the SS it's missing the drawer UV yet)

Make sure all the meshes that belong to the same UV channel have their transformations frozen, and try deleting construction history. Either of these things can cause the distortion shading to display incorrect colors.

I did what you said and it's happening the same yet

Don't feel the need to obey what that shader tells you about scaling, I don't think it's always correct. How does it look with a smaller checker pattern?

clear the history of the object. Works for me.

@GlowingPotato

I already did it, not worked for me.

@throttlekitty

I really don't know how to change the checker size on maya(with max I know you can tile the texture)

@topic

I think i'll just say fuck it for the moment then :P

To increase the size of the default checker pattern, go to the connected place2dTexture node and adjust the Repeat UV values from 4 (default) to something bigger like 8 or 16.

Thx, I resized and the only thing that happened is that the squares become bigger, if I resize all of them(to keep it uniform) all still will show red but the squares keep proportional for everything.
