Hello, I am trying to paint a 3d object using maya, but I get the strangest problem. When I apply paint to one face, it colors all the faces. I have tryed using a 6 faces square and my 1000 faced model and I have the same problem. Is there something I have to disable because I can not find it, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you may have the 'fill' option selected. It's a checkbox you can turn off I think in the attribute editor.

no it wasn't the fill option, but thanks for your help. It ended up being that I needed to apply a uv map before it would let me paint it :S learn something every day..
