I'm using Maya 2013 64 bit (the free student version) and every 20-30 seconds my viewport flickers white. It's driving me nuts! This started when I added a second monitor to my setup. I've checked and the flicker happens on both screens. I've updated my GPU drivers to the latest (I have an nVidia 9800 GTX), and my monitor…
Hi! Long time lurker first time poster here. Thought I would introduce myself with some of the concepts and personal work I did in 2013. Mostly they're concepts I did at Maxis games for Simcity and the Expansion pack. Crits and comments are welcome, and if you want to see all the images from last year including work in…
I know it's user driven, but not to the extent it should be. Almost every person on this thread has mentioned something that is missing. It's clear that Max is targeted at the games industry. Maya is a staple of the animation world, be that film or game or TV, but Max is quite obviously a staple of the games industry. Sure…
For some reason this is not working for me? I can adjust the near clipping plane fine in the viewport but it won't show up in the render. As far as my research got this can work in Scanline. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this to work with Ray Tracing and Mental Ray in Maya 2013? Thanks.
It doesn't happen for me with 2012 version, so I think it's not a hardware problem. I have last ati driver and 3ds max 2013 Update 5. I noticed there's Autodesk Composite 2013 Service Pack 2 which I didn't install, but I haven't found anything related to 3ds max in fix list. Is it possible they do not list all the fixes in…
Good afternoon. I have Maya 2013 and I need to use FBX version 2014 as per the Unreal engine 4 docs. I can't seem to find a download for it from the Autodesk site. Where do I find the download link for FBX Version 2014?
This is a rather odd issue, that I've only seen for 3DS Max 2013 on Windows 10. Didn't have this issue on Windows 7. For some odd reason, the XView is missing from the viewport, and none of the settings cause it to show: https://i.imgur.com/fhJuC9I.png But when opening the CP_FunWithSpawning01.max scene bundled with 3DS…
We released 3ds Max USD 0.3 Beta with USD Stage Support and a new Max USD SDK. The USD Stage Object allows you to load USD files directly into Max without importing. The SDK allows you to take control of our USD Exporter. See an overview of USD, USD in Max and also a video of me showing how scripters can start building…
Last year we put together the very popular Polycount Recap Collection, a zip file of every image featured in our front page recaps in 2012, over 900 images in all. Well a year and 850 images later, we have a brand new collection ready and waiting to fill your inspiration folders. For those of you who may have missed out on…
http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/cory/announcing_maya_2013 Unless the announcement thread is already deeply buried. Max 2013 is not the only new announcement? I really liked the mel and node feedback they previewed last week. Like timerX on steroids. Should really be helpful in finding performance roadblocks in scenes. (…
