I can't view the image you posted, so it's hard to say what's up with your tools. As a bit of general advice I'd say exit maya and delete your prefs folder (or rename it). This will cause maya to create new default preferences the next time you run it, and hopefully reset your tools to normal behavior. I think the default…
I went to file > open > double clicked on my file. Then the file disappeared and the name went into the open file dialog box. I have no clue what happened but was wondering if someone knows where my file could be. I have no windows recovery option for that date. I searched my whole HDD for the file name, and only came up…
Is there any way to do a save as with a relative path? What I'm trying to do is create an action that takes an open psd file and saves it as a tga file, the problem is when I record the save as command it always hardcodes where the file is to be saved. I would like to work in any folder and use the same action instead of…
@strkl thanks! tbh i put each one in its own project folder because i felt that if i had one project folder titled "props" it would look a little empty. these props where actually made for an environment for someone else, so i suppose i could knock something up, but im sick of the sight of them tbh! i'm currently working…
The instructions say to place it within your "plug-ins" folder. But to be honest the folder structure between maya 2012 and 2014 has changed slightly, so I can't be sure of anything. I like that the r7 curvature map places convexity and concavity in separate channels but still in the same image. Then I can use them quickly…
Hey Lead, unfortunately, the ID Preset system is being reworked - so the current method to achieve standardized texturing across different models would mean applying Smart Materials manually. ID Presets should be functioning normally soon, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. The reimporter may have issues…
You can take extra brushes out of the main Zbrush folder and keep them in lightbox. (I would be careful and research before you do this, some brushes have to stay in the main Zbrush folder or Zbrush wont work correctly.) I personally made three custom palettes with 8 brushes in each and hotkeyed them. After I did that, i…
Thank you Nicolas! Now I know why I should use Aliases and that"s great. But how do I use them exactly? I can check/uncheck them when I export a substance with dependencies. What if I just safe it like a normal .sbs? Does it have to be just in the Folder which I declared as my Alias-Folder? To see my 'Aliased'Substances,…
3d texture painting with a normal map showing, using photoshop brushes. And a pony. Something to sort out the render order for alpha stuff in Max would be cool. Like if it moved the pivots or re-created the objects in a specific order, just to make it look right for viewport rendering. Folder shortcuts from a sidebar on…
[ QUOTE ] BOOO... - Version 2.0 will have 1080p and a 120Gig drive and the capacity for custom codecs and run smoothly at 1080p. [/ QUOTE ] I doubt it. if it's got the new mini-OSX onboard, and apple will probably release updates to quicktime, then you can almost certainly install the right codecs for it. (codecs for…
