Hi, I'm looking into some making items for DotA as a hobby. I will have to learn how to create and apply textures (and animation, if necessary), but as far as 3D Modeling goes, I had some specific questions. I am pretty good with Rhino 3D and Autodesk Alias. Would either of these programs suffice or will I need to learn a…
Hey all, so I tired posting this in the autodesk forums but its really dead there... I've been using Mudbox for years to render out the Normal and AO for my terrains. Something I've never been able to figure out is that any time you render out an AO in Mudbox (this has been present since 2012) there's a black border around…

Hey hey, I've tried searching the net but I'm not finding much for anything recent on the subject. Just things from RC2 days or early 2007 where people said Autodesk was going to do a patch for Max 9 to work in Vista. Soooo, I am wondering - does Max 9 work in Vista32bit? I have a scene I'd like to finish! :P If anyone…

By default they collide with the mesh they originate from but not other meshes in the scene. According to this Autodesk help page you can add collision modifiers to hair…
Hi I want Maya to save out a fg map for me to use for further frames. The autodesk knowledge network states: By default the file is saved into the current project's mentalRay\finalgMap directory. I have set the project, I render a fg pass, but when I take a peek into the folder there is no fg file to be seen. I have also…
hi, just wondering if it is possible for users to create their own custom menuset and append it to the menuset selection box, preferrably without spending a significant chunk of lifetime in front of a text editor. in that other 3d app sold by autodesk you can simply alter the menu structure by dragging stuff around, i am…
I just recently installed Maya 2018. I am not
able to bake a normal map using the Transfer Maps option. It does not work.
When I click the "Bake and Close" button, Maya 2018 freezes and then
crashes. : ( Now, it's nothing on my
part or my Mac computer, because I go into Maya 2017 and do the whole process
of creating my…
