Maya 2015 incomplete normal mapping

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:25:09 GMT

Hi!

I'm relatively new to Maya 2015 and i'm currently working with the official turtorials. Unfortunatly my modell wont display properly (see image), this happens in the last step of the turtorial when I turn on "High Quality Viewport" to view the attached normal mapping to the modell.

Source: http://docs.autodesk.com/MAYAUL/2015/ENU/GettingStarted/#!/url=./files/GUID-8F1AB5AD-B678-4D05-9C96-F47CA7308804.htm

I'm running the student version of Maya 2015.

Thankful for any kind of help!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
"uv-mapping" might be the more correct term instead of "normal mapping"?
If my explanation is unclear, basically what i'm trying to do is to transfer the normal from the high resolution modell to the low resolution modell using "Lighting/Shading" > "Transfer Maps..", read the linked tutorial in original post for futher instruction.
I have tried to do the turtorial twice without progress, so I believe there is something wrong with my settings?

I have figured out the problem, I had an incorrect setting in the "Transfer Maps" window..
