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.

Bump maps - one side raised, the other lowered?
just watched a texturing tutorial from Digital Tutors. When he made the bump map, one side of his object had raised bumps, the other had indentations (he'd copied the bump for each side).
To get around this, he inverted one of the bump maps in photoshop, and this solved it. I've watched other tutorials on the same subject though and never seen this before, and in the little that I've done never came across it.
Anyone heard of this - could it be in an older version of maya?
cheers,

Its the way Zbrush makes displacments so you have to do that to get your displacement looking right,

you can open the attribute editor and in the shape node go to the Render Stats tab and click on double sided and then turn opposite off then turn double sided back on.
