As for the process - Photogrammetry has changed a lot since I did this project - here is how I did it back then, and how it could be done now - First off, the camera and lens - with photogrammetry (even current) it is best to use a decent dSLR with a FIXED lens. If anything changes in the lens, then the absolute center of…
My work uses Redshift, which apparently has a different smoothing algorithm to Maya's default OpenSubdive Catmull-Clark. In Maya's default smoothing, border and corner vertices are not pulled. In Redshift smoothing, all verts are pulled to the next vert, whether or not it is a border vertex. This requires support loops to…
I believe Maya now defaults to Python3 while Zen Tools use Python2, so you may be able to get the script to work by simply changing the Python version in Mayas preferences.
I'm making a large number of 3D assets in Maya for use in a lowpoly game where all textures have a pixel art style and are completely unfiltered (i.e. no resampling when scaled). Because of this, I'm making my model UVs "pixel perfect" relative to the resolution of their texture. A simple example: Note that all UVs are…
I had GoZ working previously (months ago), and just tried using it from Maya to ZBrush. Every time I do so, it crashes Maya. No errors or anything - Maya just freezes up and has to be force shut down from the task manager. I figured I could reinstall from the ZBrush preferences to fix the issue, but it doesn't appear to…
I know this is a reeeally old thread, but I found it while trying to troubleshoot this problem myself, so I wanted to post here in case someone else encounters this issue. The problem described here seems to have been caused by corrupted maya preferences. Like the OP, I tried all the usual things: unlocking the normals;…
The only compatibility problem that I'm aware of is the fact that I haven't fixed all features for the maya 2009-2010 version :P Performance problems: The texel density control, orient shells, unfolds and other features that builds big arrays or runs many shells thru a for-loop might cause Maya to crash if you try and run…
Hi. I've been using Maya for a while and am *just* starting to get into Max. I really just have one specific question for now, but it would also be cool if anyone knows of any resources that could help me as a Maya user get familiar with Max. I'm sure I'm not the first to learn one and then the other! My only specific…
Hi All I`m currently having to use maya with a single monitor and things get pretty cluttered when opening editors,etc . I wondered if there was a way of automatically closing windows/editors ie hypershade when not in use ie moving the mouse pointer away. I tried a windows program called actual window manager that can…
