Hi there. I am learning VV mapping in maya and have gone with this (http://www.freelance-animation.com/newwebpage/tutorials/uvmapping.html) tutorial as it suits my way of working. I am trying to get the UVs to copy across from one model to the next but I am having no joy. I don't get an error message or anything but when I look in the UV window the UVs are the same.

The tutorial is not specific about what kind of duplication is necessary and I have tried nearly all permutations. I also tried saving and then importing the model.

I am using Maya PLE v6.0

Thanks for any help on this. It is driving me nuts.

I wrote that tutorial a long time ago and a few versions of maya have come and gone since then, however it still works in all versions, EXCEPT the one you are using. Unfortunatly there was a small bug in maya 6.0 that stoped the UV transfer from working, this was fixed in the 6.01 release, but I don't believe this point release ever made it to the PLE version.
I'm sorry to say that untill a new version of PLE comes out, you wont be able to follow my tutorial.

Darn!! When will software not be buggy? Anyway, I have started to use a more traditional approach and am learning quite a bit. I had started to think that the problem might have been due to me making a new UV set by accident but by what you say, it could just be the program. I may test it later.

Thanks for the warning anyway - much appreciated and could save a lot of headache.

PS. I like the crab! Looks like the project stalled in the end though? Shame.
