#inktober 28, 29, 30 and 31. I'm pleased I made it to the end, it was fun but a bit exhausting! Looking forward to getting a bit more sleep tonight. Well done to everyone who took part. (Burn = Bum, because I didn't want my dog anywhere near anything that might burn her!) I used the brush pen again for 29 & 30 as we were…
No Gimbal Lock...this happens, when you scaled the parent object non uniformly on Object Level. Don't ever do this...if you want to scale, go into Element or Vertex Subobject, select everything and scale that. If you absolutely have to scale on object level (don't know any reason for that...) then make sure the object is…
It doesnt help. I have a mesh. I add a Lattice effector A Popup for Lattice like the help doc and "parent to" the single mesh. But the result is not the same like the picture. My Mesh has a cage thats okay but Lattice cage doesnt effect my mesh. The scene overview is not correct, Lattice Mesh and Lattice effector are Sub…
Totally agree with you there Ror. It rocks having kids, especially being able to be aware of what's going on while it's happening. Although I think any good parents feel the same way, regardless of their occupation... I guess this industry just keeps us a bit more in tune with what childhood is all about. About that quote,…
As you might know there's a limitation in Maya that would not allow custom marking menus to be called by hotkey in undocked viewports such as the UV Editor. They fixed this for Maya 2016 but you need to reset your keyboard shortcuts for your marking menus if you copied them from previous versions. This is because the…
Ola, Let's say i have a multimaterial, with standard submaterials in it, with a diffuse texture in each of the submaterial. In the material editor, my current slot is on a diffuse bitmap node. I want to access the parent standard material from here. Not the root multimaterial. (Purpose is to rename the standard material as…
Without seeing your outliner, i cant be sure but it looks like your nurbs curve does not have an offset/parent group. You should do the transforms for the controller on its offset group, so the curve stays zeroed but its transforms are inherited from the parent group. Also with ik handles, it is always a good idea to have…
This brings back one of my earliest Christmas memories. For months I begged my parents and all my relatives for a VirtualBoy. It was all that I wanted in the world and I just knew that I would never need anything else as long as I lived. Santa was good to me that year. My parents and grandparents together managed to pool…
Once again, it's fine to let the kid kill cops and run people over, but flash a breast and the lines been crossed. I hate society. My brother works for Best Buy and he sees this crap all the time. These parents are so busy spoiling their kids that they don't question little Johnny when he wants a game. Then when they…
i'm amazed York isn't featured. Quite apart from the constant stream of knacker scum (i hate the word "chav", its been adopted to be somehow endearing) coming in on the train for stag nights and hen parties, making a pleasant night out in your own town centre next to impossible, the indigenous population are something…
