New to Mudbox/Maya


#1

Hello,
I have recently started using 3D softwares such as mudbox and maya to do texture painting.
However, I am facing some difficulties while painting of my 3D models (which I have downloaded online).
Everytime i apply paint it seems to replicated the color on other faces on the model. I believe it has to do with the UV map. I dont know how to fix it and I would really appreciate some help.
Thank you very much

Paprika.

That could be overlapping UVs. Maybe the original model was set up to use multiple materials. In this case you could move each part out of the UV 0-1 range and use multiple texture tiles.

Or it could just be that the UVs are garbage.

open your file first in Maya > then do create UV _ automatic mapping
then export that NEW file to Mudbox
paint
