This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

if the buttons are exactly the same, like a duplicate of one) then just do a transfer and assign a different shader to them. this will do the trick.
transfer uv does not transfer shader or anything else only the things you check in option box.

Each button has the same mesh, but will have a different texture - for example, a different number on each button, so I need to be able paint a different texture for each. Not sure how assigning a different shader will help.
I'm really crap at texturing though :blush: , so I may be missing something.

maya looks at the uvs and applys the shader.
so you paint one texture put in the color input and maya will always map the texture the same but looking for 'what-to-map' in the assigned shader...
just try it...
you'll see

Then create a shader for each texture and then after all the keys have their Uv's transfer mapped just apply the appropriate shader to the keys you need it on.
hope this helps.

unfortunatly thats what you've got to do have a different shader for each part to assign hte map
Then again you probably could write a MEL script to do it for you, using a loop function and a simple increcement for the file??
Dunno as im not too sure about MEL, being getting back into C++, then again if you post thatin the MEL forum bet Alan could sort you out with a workround, if one exists...

I ended up combining the keys and planar mapping them for the time being.

I have been around just not actively posting as i have just moved house and haven't had much time what with things that need sorting out.
I am still UVing the Wasp a little at a time when I get a few moments spare ,when I have a significant update I will post it on the WIP.
