Hi folks, As the topic says, I'm having some trouble with Maya. I extracted some meshes from Fallout 4 and got them into Maya as .obj's. I can get the diffuse map (.dds) on the .obj no problem. However, using a Lambert or Phong, when I try to plug in the bump or specular maps Maya pops up a little blank window and it won't…
Hey all, Trying to render out a simple 40 frame animation in Maya. Using Maya Software, I have the file extension to .tga. I've read to use multiple frame but it's greyed out. It's just a simple refrence animation but the 40 frames are taking 30 mins to render. I've never rendered in Maya before, but I know this can't be…
Maya 2014 (Educational) has somehow started lagging. Does anyone have ay idea how to solve it? 1) Create a cube primitive. 2) Switch to Vertex Selection. 3) Draw Marquee around selectable Vertices. >> Maya viewport does not immediately display update with selected vertices (yellow vertices) The Viewport DOES update when I…
Hey there My studio is thinking of getting a copy of maya or max, Ive already given my boss a list of pro's and con's but Im still not sure what is best. Ultimately this software is mostly going to be used for game character creation and animation under tight deadlines(talking 2 months per game). We work on apple macs at…

Ill be doing character modelling and animations for the project, no programming I dont know anything about that. I have been…
Ah, I will look into the Remap Value solution. Sounds very similar to what a 2D Ramp solution would do. Yeah maybe I could get the help of my programmer colleagues to have a look at that animation curve and see what we could make of it. I tried exporting the scene as a Maya Ascii file to see if I could make anything of it.…
Hi, this is my time posting here at Polycount, been reading/viewing for a while though and thought I'd ask for some tips or possibly links to some tutorials on really good ways to model a hand (in this case, using Maya). I'm a 3ds Max whore so I still haven't familiarized myself with Maya completely, which is the focus of…
I'm having this weird issue in Maya 8 when I apply a second color map. Its on the 0 min -1 max U space and 0 min 1 max V space in my UV texture editor. From the way I learned to do it in Maya 7, I would select the UVs in the coordinate space, change selection to faces, then right click the faces in perspective veiw and…
Hi All I use Maya 2010 for my work and for some reason in the last few days the hardware texturing has become really slow, to a point where is unusable. The strange thing is its random, I rebooted yesterday and it ran fine, and now this morning its gone slow again. I had this problem ages ago and I cant remember what I did…
Wasn't there a support group for Maya and 9800xt users? Hi my name is Dekard and I am a maya user with an ATI 9800XT. "Hello Dekard".. I'm trying to get back into modelling now for school and as soon as I put on a friggin imageplane on one of my viewports it takes like 20 seconds to refresh when I use the cv curve tool. I…
