Hi,
I have a simple layered material with a UV checker pattern map in Reflectance 0. In the UV Texture Editor, I can't see the UV checker pattern map. In the Textures menu, I can see and select the file but only get a grey background. Also, pushing the "Display Image on/off" button doesn't display the image - it just toggles between the grey background or no background.

Is there another menu selection or checkbox somewhere that I need to set to see the UV checker pattern in the UV Texture Editor?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

Which version of Maya are you using, and on which OS?

I'm using Maya 2014 x64, Maxwell plug-in 3.1.3 and Windows 7. I rebooted my PC and can now see the image in the UV texture editor. When I had the problem, I was able to see the image using a Maya material so I thought there was switch, checkbox etc. that I needed to select for the Maxwell material.
Thanks,
Mike

There's no switch, and the plug-in has very little control over what's displayed in the UV editor. It's likely that the glitch you saw was in the Maya code, but if you encounter it again please let me know (and if you find a way to reproduce it reliably, it would be great).

Ok - Thanks Mihnea.
I'll let you know if I can reproduce it.
Mike
