Paint effects problem in Maya 2016

[Anonymous]

I'm having a real headache with paint effects in Maya 2016, instead of painting where it’s supposed to (where the red circle is) it just clumps it all over to the side regardless of the geometry I import. Am I doing something wrong or is Maya not working as it should?

Does your imported geometry have UVs?  Also, did you do the "Make Paintable" command on the object?

Yep it defintily has UV's and is made paintable. It happens on what ever model I use regardless 😞

Check your base mesh's normals.
