Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Texturing

I've made a tower structure in maya and when I apply the UV map to texture it it keeps applying the same texture to the rest of the model. I've only applied the map to the part i want to texture and it's still texturing the entire thing. When I try to apply a new texture to a different part it also textures everything and retextures the bit I did previously. What's going on?? Please help.

are you using the same material on the different parts?

No. I'm just doing some test textures at the moment so i'm using the 3d textures withing maya but i've made 2 different ones and it just keeps applying them to the whole thing.

I tried uploading it but it didn't seem to want to. Any ideas about what I could be doing wrong to make the textures not work?

the only thing I could think is that your UV's are overlapping or are on top of one another.

If you could perhaps post some screenshots of your model, UV window and your hypershade?
