[Maya] Component mode transformations doesn't work
So this just happened: Maya got a fatal error and crashed and after I restarted the program I got this wierd problem. Whenever I select components and try to transform them the transformation applies to the whole object and not just the selected components, just as if I was working in object mode. If I select two vertices… -
Place gravel in maya without dynamics?
I'm about to create a gravel texture for a scene. My thought was to create about 10 different gravel stones and optimize them fairly heavy. Then place them randomly and scattered so that i can bake textures from them.. My first thought was to use the dynamics in maya, but it's so slow when you have like 400 objects… -
Re: Maya 2014 - Crease Set Editor vs Quick Selection Sets
Ok, thanks for the info (both of you). I just needed some confirmation. The reason I thought about using the Crease Edge Editor is, because I don't know how to add to a smoothing group I make in Maya. I can select it in the Outliner, but I cannot add any new polygons I selected. I am looking for the best way to make and… -

Re: Maya 2010 and MJ Poly Tools
Hmm, maybe it uses the global snap preferences found in Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Preferences, then look in the "Snapping" section on the left. It has global magnet and tolerance settings in there, maybe it uses those. Sorry about the misinformation before, I don't have Maya open so I'm just going from memory :) -
[MAYA] Creating a normal map with rounded corners of a low poly model without baking high poly
I once used a script that transferred the selected edges and maya to photoshop, creating a ready-made normal map with rounded edges. Has anyone seen anything like this? (I tried Quixel Suite/nDo, but they didn't give me what I needed...) -
Re: Maya Fcheck
Windows -> Setting Prefs - > Rreferences -> Applications. You need to set the path for what application you want. EDIT: Something I noticed is that the image is not opening in Photoshop (using CS3) and when I took a look at the MEL code, its because Maya returns the filepath as forward slashes but changing it to backslash… -
Re: maya instanced Mirror
Hey thanks a lot, br0 and throttlekitty! yes that's might help br0 usually I just delete the entire instanced group and remirror it. still I find myself doing it so often in some projects and I thought maybe by now there is a better way of doing it. of course maya has to lack on the most basic things. i'm on 2015. I was… -
Re: Maya: Flipping object makes strange normals!
i see you have the viewport ambient occlusion on. its actually pretty handy to have on because it actually tells you if your normals are flipped or not. after duplicating and scaling -1, try freezing your transforms. maya should now correct the normals on negatively scaled geometry when the normals are frozen. your second… -
Re: 3ds max vs maya ( again! :( )
I'm going to get all sweary, don't take it personally, I don't have time to clean it up and think of proper verbiage, plus it's how polycount used to be. My personal usage history: I've used Max more than any other program, but that means I'm more intimately acquainted with it's warts =P I currently use Maya for animation…
