Re: OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum
You guys are unearthing new levels of moronic on the part of the Maya devs. Thanks for the insight. I have renamed the first UV set to something else than map1 (which I have always hated when receiving models from Maya) so that might explain why the UV relationship editor is not behaving quite like it says on the tin.

Re: OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum
Maya must have one UVset called map1. If the data you are importing doesn't have it, Maya will create it. What I do is rename all my UVs in Softimage before exporting to Maya.

Re: OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum
I think Relationship Editor is only way through UI. Action in Relationship Editor creates UV Chooser node, which then allows to choose something else than first member of array of UV Sets, so theoretically it's possible to invoke this by some script, and un-hide the node in Hypergraph (it's visible in Node Editor). But, once you're in node un-hiding business, it easily shows what you do not want to see, in this case, perhaps all objects having this texture assigment. So, imho only solution is what Ivan suggested, to use some plugin, written by Maya guru.By the way it's full of such crazy, partial workarounds over twenty year old framework. This seems to be a tradition, even in newer versions. For example, new ''improved'' Connect Tool (Subdivide Edges in SI) in Maya 2017, creates one operator for each subdivision, or twice if symmetry modeling is used - first operator is subdivide at 0.5, second is 0.5 of previous 0.5, or 0.5 of previous 0.66, so on. Unbelievable in any other 3d on planet, even for quick user solution posted on some forum, but in ''official'' Maya, this is ''normal''.Funny enough, long time ago exactly the same nodal framework had great reputation, comparable with our opinions about Softimage ICE, while these 'duct tape' workarounds were considered as temporary, not important stuff for smart Maya people.

RE: OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum
I've been down this sad path for the past two years, and I still get pissed every time I use Maya. weight painting in maya is really shitty, I would recommend trying this plugin: http://www.ngskintools.com/ I tried writing in Python some weight painting functionality that is missing in maya, but I gave up, or more accurately: I failed:) (if anyone wants a 90% working mayan "Re-asign localy" script, for skinning...) I also was shocked when I realized how unnecessarily complicated simple stuff is, like multiple UVs and light linking for example. Maya is also very bad with operations on multiple selections.. it's terrible! The whole software feels like programmer's harassment...

That's why 3rd party rendering plugins developed it for maya distribution. Redshift has it, Vray has it and since Arnold is not 3rd party no more... Maybe you should ask for it... :) Cheers.

OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum
I am late to the sad and boring party of learning Maya and have run into what looks like total idiosyncracy in the way you manage and use multiple UV sets in Maya. Trying to keep an open mind and keeping the learning hat on, I am willing to accept there might be a good reason for the way Maya does it, but having to Link each UV set to a given texture using the Relationship Editor rather than just selecting the desired UV set in a texture projection node like in Soft is beyond my imagination. It seems like programmers harassment. Can someone here indicate a good reason for this, expanded functionality, or perhaps a simpler workaround for using multiple UV sets in shader networks in Maya? Thanks, and apologies for blowing off steam. Morten -- Softimage Mailing List.
