Graphics card issue?

Complex UV Layout in Maya

Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Once I have applied the texture to my model and pan around there appears to be some distortion in the model though in reality there isn't see in attached image. What could this be?

maybe you need to adjust your normals, try a test render and if it looks good, and the normals do not fix your viewport error, make sure back face culling is off.

if you still have errors then its probly your graphics card

The thing is it's fine until I assign a texture to the element, then at some angles it becomes semi tranparant and can look like one of them 'impossible objects' that intersect themselves. It's fine when rendering, think I'll just put it down to graphics card problems and keep my fingers crossed.

i think I had the same problem when assiging 32-bit tga texture to the model, but saving texture to 24-bit(via photoshop) did the trick. Maybe it would help you to do the same.

Excellent mate. That worked a treat, any ideas as to why that would cause a problem, if anything I'd have thought the 16-bit would have been problematic.
