If you are selecting all of the edges around the seam and then welding, select one less edge then weld. Then weld that last remaining edge. I'm not really sure which edges attach to what so its kind of hard to tell what's going on...
Are you in Isolate Selected mode? You can also selecting all in the outliner and applying a fresh material to it. If you export an OBJ or FBX and reimport in a new scene are object there? Are those objects not showing up because they are too small or too big?
Try changing it to .001 and 10000 for each view then save pref. edit: save preferences is under file Also select the plane and frame selection ( f ) as well, sometimes thats all it takes when maya starts getting buggy for me.
Honestly... pelt mapping isn't all it was cracked up to be since they improved the relax algorithms. I would cylindrical unwrap it and relax parts and pieces with soft select turned on. Or planar map it, select your pelt seams break the edges and relax.
you can already do that just go to the brush type next to the brush strength options and all that at the top and select the selction tools eg the rectangle or the lasso and then hold ctrl while drawing the shape and everything you selected will be sliced away
or just use the connect components command, it is in the menu under the shift + rmb marking menu. just select 2 verts and use the command, than you can keep selecting new vert pairs to connect and hit g to repeat the command.
You only need to flip the UV, not the geometry. Select the face in the UV editor, Break it, the select the edges inside the hole, and Stitch the polygon back into the main shell. You will need to re-bake the normal map if you had one already.
You don't switch between IDs. They're just guides that you use as masks. :smile: Simply right-click on an ID and select the appropriate menu item - either mask the current selection to that ID or mask a new Smart Material to that ID.
thanks for the tips EricChadwick ! the override works well, but nothing happens with the sync selection mode i'm soo nooob or.. :\ ? :poly142: Edit ahhh owned It was the TV Element Mode and not sync selection.. ok i'm a noob :poly103: thanks again EricChadwick!
1. How does one de-select a layer so one can press c in 3do then click to make a new material ONLY on the selected color id? 2. How can you reduce the intensity of the AO in the render of the model?
