Figured id xpost from the tech art waywo thread since its rigging related I started learning the maya api and decided to write a skin weight save/loader. Needs optimizing but pretty happy with it so far. It queries the skinCluster node for the weight values and then uses setAttr to reapply the weights, i could have used…
I'm modeling a part of a robot. I'm starting with the High-poly. While modeling .. i wanted to bevel some edges. I started thinking .. should i keep a version of the mesh on the side that has no bevels ? Wouldn't that make it easier for me later on when making the low poly version ? Is this the most efficient to work ? How…

Same here! While I was working as product designer, I used to model with Rhinoceros always in perspective with about 50mm lens and the standard XYZ planes. When had to work with mechanical engineer using Pro-E which is ALWAYS set as orthographic by default, I couldn't help but see a cube in viewport "getting wider" on the…

Depending on the style you're going for all you need is a tiny square of colour (skin, trousers, sweater for example),…
Do you see any warning or error messages in the script window when this happens? I've noticed that the context menus sometimes don't use long (unique) object names for querying nodeType, so the command to build the menu will fail (in Maya 2008 anyway). You might see a warning saying something like "more than one object…
Sorry i was outside for a few days and i didnt has internet connection. I finally ended with a solution of make a function inside a function: import maya.cmds as cmds class B: def __init__(self): self.create_window() def create_window(self): if cmds.window("UI", exists=True): cmds.deleteUI("UI") win = cmds.window("UI")…
