any news yet? :S could this be a Maya problem? some weird settings? altough i'd believe i havent change anything related to this..
as i said i followed several simple video tutorials on youtube and all of them got the fine results. when i try to do everything as they say something's always bad :S first i couldnt see the maps, (on the diamond plate) so i thought it could be due to strange geometry, then i tried on very simple box stuff like those prints and the maps seem to be always diferent from the original geometry, and that i mean the post with the red crate, you can notice it has on inward extrusion, then another resizing the area and an outwards extrusion. and the map was created like a simple extrusion outwards the mesh, never inwards :S
