Texturing Problem
 

Hi all. Im having some difficulties with Texturing in Maya 8.5.

Ive used Maya for around 4 years full time but havent managed to resolve this reoccuring problem.

Sometimes the textures (in the modelling window)applied to models all of a sudden dont appear correctly. The either display the wrong texture or no texture at all, yet the UV mapping is fine. But here is the unusual part. When i select the object the textures applied to that object sometimes swap about. The only way i have managed to resolve this is to reaply all the textures again or reopen the file until it fixes, this is around 20 times if it works. Sometime even having to restart my model again


I normally name the texture files and material name : "txt_texturename"

im not sure if this will effect anything


Thankyou for any help

did you delete history after applying your textures?

I didnt delete the history after applying the textures. Though i deleted the history to see if that would solve the problem. It did not.

Sounds odd, i've not had that problem, what GFX card are you using?

let's see some pictures of the problem.

Here is a screenshot of the object unselected. as you see the textures do not display except for 1.

Here is a screenshot of the object selected.

Im using a FireGL v3300 its meant to be made specifically for 3d modelling

Have a look at the maya hardware qualification charts, it might say that theres a glitch with those, as form what I can remembler there are a few with the fire cards.

thank you for your help. I couldnt find anything regarding problems with the fireGL's. Im currently updating the driver

Updating the drivers dont seem to help. Each time a reopen the file i seem to get different results with the textures. If i emailed you the file and textures would you be willing to have a look at it for me as i cant continue like this

cheers

that's weird. have you accidently created a duplicate of some of your models directly on top? what happens when you render? also, let's see a shot of your hypershade and shaders.

The 3300 isnt on the chart , theres also some issues with the ATI's so that may be the problem.

Hi. Ive tried the file on another computer and it still has the same problem so it shouldnt be my graphics card. Ill get a screen shot for you in a minute.
