MAYA Vieport problem

OneMoreShepard

So the problem is: turns out I moddeled the scene in milimeters insted of centimeters, so I scale it to appropriate... scale. But after that, here is what it looks like in viewport. Black artifacts on edges, low render range (don't know ther right term). How can I fix it?

This is the same problem as this thread. Changing your scene scale didn't adjust your camera settings automagically. Select each camera and set the Near and Far clip values. For near, I'd start with 0.001 to 0.01, and for far 3000 to 5000, see how it looks and adjust from there. Also check that your orthographic cameras are positioned well using the move tool.

 Thanks! Worked like a charm. For me values were 0.2 for near clipping and 15k for far. Another problem is, I needed to combine my scene before scaling it, so it messed my grouping in outliner, but it's a minor issue.

Nevermind silly me, I could just scale group, not combined mesh)

But another problem, mesh is black in top view, no matter distance or camera settings.

Is the camera actually located on top looking down?

Yes.

I'm stumped, sorry. I can see in the other views that your mesh normals are most likely fine, but try conform normals. Maybe reset transforms on the camera if that doesn't help.

Are you sure what you are seeing isn't the back of the polygons?  In more recent versions of Maya, the default display for the inside of mesh volumes is to render black.  Try going under the Shading viewport menu and enabling Backface Culling.

Didn't help, unfortunately Thanks for trying anyway
