Send to Mudbox missing from the
File menu
Send to Mudbox is only available in the
File menu if you have matching versions of
Maya and Mudbox. (Maya 2016 and Mudbox 2016 are matching versions.)
If you have an appropriate version of Mudbox installed but
Send to Mudbox is missing from the
File menu, check to make sure the
OneClick.mll plug-in is loaded using the
Plug-in Manager (Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager).
Problems Detected in Imported Mesh
In some cases when you send objects from
Maya, Mudbox detects an issue with the mesh. Either of the following warnings can appear when you send the mesh.
-
High-valence vertex
-
UV Faces Crossing Tile Boundaries
Both of these problems can be corrected in
Maya.
To correct a
High-valence vertex issue
Note: This problem is often associated with spherical objects.
- Select the object in
Maya.
- Open the
Attribute Editor and select the History tab for the poly object.
- Change the
Subdivisions Axis and
Subdivisions Height values to 15.
To correct a
UV Faces Crossing Tile Boundaries issue
- Open the
UV Texture Editor and select the
Move UV Shell tool.
- Reduce the size of the object so that it is not touching the UV shell borders.
Note: Multiple materials on the same mesh are not supported in Mudbox. If you send a mesh with multiple materials from
Maya to Mudbox, only the material applied to the first face (ID 0) of the mesh appears in Mudbox.
