I think an extent of five months has been enough to find the solution. Even then, I think you should try the most basic thing, REPAIR (or Re-install) .

I think its cause your texture source is not present in the computer you are opening in . To “open it again any where else” and find your textures the way they are , you'll have to carry your texture files that have been used as maps. Actually the problem is simple. The “any where else”-computer does not have the textures you've used in your scene, so they can not be seen. Hope I'm right .

This is a really great way to get into light baking.

You can also use a textured image, and light using mental Ray – to get really nice results. You’ll definitely want to uv map your model and ensure that your texture isn’t wrapping where it shouldn’t (you don’t want two UV’s using the same area of a texture, because it’ll mess up the shadows).

Then you go into the rendering menu – and then Lighting/Shading -> then BatchBake(mentalRay)

I use an old copy (maya 8),so this might be a bit off. This usually works pretty great if I could just remember how to uv map properly.

Hi, my question actually concerns the program you mentioned on the “Maya Texture Baking Tutorial” video, PhraseExpress. I was extremely impressed by the program and downloaded it. But I have one question, seeing as I can’t really get the arguments down for it. How were you able to do an event function, i.e. myEventFunc event; and then have it print out the given function name and all?

I have successfully gotten it to do so if I highlight the function name and then click the phrase, but I cannot get it to work with the AutoText.

Any help is much appreciated!

And these tutorials are helping a ton! A HUMUNGOUS “Thank you” goes out for these!
