Can I do 16 bit UVs in Maya?
I sometimes encounter an issue with deformed textures and losing details in some regions of my models, like normals or edge highlights, after importing my assets to Unreal. The reason being is that Unreal rounds up UV coordinate numbers, unless full precision UVs are enabled for static mesh: Here are some examples. Left is… -
Re: Maya - Bend deformer adds only ShapeOrig
Nope, there is no problem with the mesh and the settings. I opened up a new file, added the deformer with default settings and the same happens again. Deleted the whole preferences - nothing. The weird thing is, it works before but after deleting the deformer and setting up a new one, this 'error' appears. Maybe I pressed… -
Investigating error(s) in Normal maps for use in Maya

Creasing Issue on Cut Line (Maya)
I want to have sharp corners on the cut line while the model maintains it's round shape. Support loops make them sharp, but there's bad smoothing around the whole model (top middle). Googling around I think part of the issue is not enough geo so I smoothed the model and tweaked some of the verts back into a linear shape… -
