Re: Which one is the best....
I dont think that would ever happen Rich, not because of the quality of blender, but purely because of how its being developed. (Granted i could be chatting pure bs as ive never used Blender..) From what i understand its a simple case of if blender goes wrong who do you turn to? Even in a game studio if they spend time… -

Re: Maya AO maps
just forget about baking ao that way in maya if your using 8.0, it simply doesn't work right. Anything else (xnormal, topogun, xsi) is going to to a much better job much quicker. Where i work the vehicle team actually does bake ao in maya, but they create uv's for the high poly and do a proper ao bake to that, and then… -
Re: Maya + Nvidia = potential for crash
That's not new at all. Alias have *never* supported anything other than workstation class cards for Maya. We only ever used workstation cards at EA for this reason. The fact that Geforce 'gamer' cards used to work with maya before was a total bonus. Lo and behold now Autodesk own them geforce cards are suddenly extremely… -
Face capture doubts
Hi! Last months I've been working on some portraits generated with metahuman and Maya. I've made some renders and animations, but i would really like to do some face mocap while I'm speaking. I've already work with Autodesk Motionbuilder and a xbox 360 Kinect, but its seems impossible to do this with metahuman rig. Does… -
Maya - use same Z up orientation as Unreal, other programs
Hey guys this is just a PSA. Looks like in newer version of Maya (2020 is what I am on) you can change the world axis up from Y to Z. This makes parity with other applications like Unreal a lot simpler. Don't have to mess with export settings or figure out any maths. The more softwares are homogenous the more brain can… -
What is the best way of modeling out a stylized 3D environment
Ok, so I’m new(ish) to 3D and was wondering how environments like these would be modeled out? (reference images below) I always see tutorials and guides for individual assets, but not the environment itself. Surely it’s not modeled using a flat plane and a sculpting tool like most current open world environments are.I was… -
Beginner question on game modeling
Hi, I have a few questions on things that i couldn't clarify from tutorials. The program I'm using is Autodesk Maya. Firstly, when you have a complete model, should you harden the edges on the normals or keep them as they are. Originally my model looks better without harden edges, but in some areas I get strange unnatural… -
PYTHON Highlevel intro to Python in Maya (cmds, Pymel, Openmaya 1.0 & 2.0)
Hello, Here is a video I made discussing the various types of Python available in Maya. And when to use which API. A lot of people still use cmds, and haven't discovered the advantages of Pymel yet. Hopefully this will help spreading the word. The official Autodesk intro is also great at comparing both of them. And I go… -
reassigning materials in an fbx file with python
I've been struggling with this on and off for a few days now so I thought I'd ask here on the off chance. Using the python bindings for the autodesk fbx SDK I want to take an object with multiple materials assigned and replace the assignments with a single material. I can remove materials from an object, I can create new…
