Hi!

The texture is visible in your screenshot! (?)

If you talk about the UV Editor, please read the Maya help:

The texture is not visible I flipped the uv so do I have to re-wrap it?

Hi!

OK, now i understand what you are talking about.

It looks like these faces are not fully visible. My guess:

1. In the Mesh Node you have enabled Mesh Component Display -> Backface Culling ("wire" instead of "off"). (Faces are only fully visible from the front-side.)

2. The normals of these faces are reverted. (Because of that they were red in the UV Editor)

Select the faces and in Modeling Menu: Mesh Display -> Reverse Normals

If that's not the problem, please upload the scene-file.

Hi!

You have transparency on your material:

Use a better transparency Algorithm like the new Alpha Cut:

in Viewport: Renderer -> Viewport 2.0 Settings / Hardware 2.0 Settings -> Performance -> Transparency Algorithm

or better, remove the Transparency from your material (lambert5) i don't see any benefit of this.

And some of your normals are reversed. Viewport: Lighting -> Two Sided Lighting (uncheck).

I have a similar problem and I get an error every time I open my Mayan 2017 program. And it is also with the textures and I have a student license
