Stretching textures problem

[kmp3d]

I've got a poly object in which I extruded some faces on it. When I go to add a texture, the texture stretches along the sides of the part that I extruded. I'm sure there is some simple uv thing I can do to fix it. So what do I need to do?

Hello,

I don't know if I guess right, but I think you've made your UVs before you did this extrude. When extruding faces, you create new ones, which have no UVs layed out. Maya cannot extrapolate UVs from newly created faces, according to the Uv topology which does exists. So you'll have simply to select those faces where the texture stretches, and lay out the UVs using your favorite projection tool. Hope this makes sense.

The extruded faces were just from a primitive poly shape. Is there not just a way to "normalize" (I don't know if thats the correct term) the uvs on the object so the texture maps evenly without stretching?

I guess this seemed to work. I selected the faces that were stretching and used the automatic uv mapping in the polygon texture menu. If anybody else has any other insight please let me know. thx

If you extrude faces you create a sort of tropology not easily handled by continious uvs and ther would be allmost no way of knowing what you need.

So what maya does is it keeps the uvs for the original points... Now As you might uderstand you cant doa totaly strech/seam free mapping for most coplex surfs with offshooting protrusions. So use automapping if seams are okay... if strech is more okay then scale down the uvs of the outmost vertices (then maybe relax a bit, or just let maya relax it by default).
