This is not strictly just a maya issue, but I'm hoping texture artists will be familiar with using mudbox to Ptex paint textures for maya.

Using mudbox2015, I have a model with a painted texture,...

The head of my model has it's geometry scrambled.

It was fine when I saved it last night, but I opened the file this morning to discover that the head geometry has vertices merged all over the...

I have a camera projection on an object based on perspective. I selected some of the faces and created another planar projection. Now I want some of the faces to return as part of the first camera...

Is there a function within maya to connect a single vertex to an edge? I want to snap a vertex(circled red) to an edge(green line) so that it's then connected to that edge (to close a gap). Thanks...

I have shadows appearing on the default lambert shader (the mace) in this render, but none on the phong shaded objects that are meant to be metal weaponry. What am I doing wrong? Should I use another...

Thanks. I didn't notice the multiple vertices on the border edge bunched up together

Why are my normals pointing out at perpendicular angles? And originating from nothing? It's affecting how the border edge extrudes. Is there anything I can do to correct it? :beer:

All new lights I create appear under the defaultlightset in the light linking editor. Somehow a directional light I'd created a while ago is the only one not part of the set, although it was at some...
