Maya: Can't access file. "Error line 0: Error reading file." [SOLVED]
Edit: Updated service packs. When I open my Maya file I get an error message followed by a blank scene. Can't see anything in the outliner. Anyone know the problem? file -f -new; // Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/scripts/startup/rememberViewportSettings.mel line 29: Active stereo does not work with Aero… -
Re: Moving to blender worth it?
In Blender everything is simpler vs Max . Starting from view port render and shader editor. I once loved shader FX plugin for MAx . Then Autodesk incorporated it and it became almost unusable. Blender shader editor is easier than even Unreal one . You don't have to compile anything . Everything is real time and self… -
Re: Removing AO from photogrammetry
I have another method that should work just as well. I think this is how Epic did it. * Go through the photogrammetry as usual. Make sure that you capture an hdr chrome ball of the environment, or do a full 360 hdr capture of the environment and throw the images into a photo stitching program to get an environment map. The… -
Re: Solved: The insanely confusing licensing of Quixel.
Since UE is a real-time renderer, am I correct assuming there's no actual use for Quixel Megascan (UU plan) if you're incorporating its content within projects made in eg. Blender or Maya in which project you're also using custom shaders and nodes unique to specific renderers? I mean, you'll never end up with the same… -
Re: With polygon counts rising are you going to update your portfolio with 100k meshes?
Polygons are just numbers in a portfolio, and only if you decide to show them off. What counts is what looks good and shows competence. If your characer is movie grade and rendered over 8 hours in arnold, whatever. The result counts. Show what you can pull off, and let the companies give you constraints later. If you… -
Re: Best wey to achieve this close up
There is no best way. You are trying to find an easier way instead of manually cleaning up all that geometry and i hear you, nobody likes to do a lot of boring repetitive tasks. But there are a lot of options depending on your end goal. If you want to do a close up render you might want to go ahead and combine all that and… -
Re: Maya Hair System Issue
So for reference here, I'm running on a GTX980Ti and maya 2016.5, so no Arnold here. Probably not a huge deal except for the shader- I'm not sure what the viewport uses, but that may be something to look into for your problem. I simply get the PFX shading which matches your screenshot. Either way, the scene loads slow for… -
Re: Autodesk Maya 2016
Hi smcclelland! I just wanted to say that as I've been beta testing maya 2016 I can say it's for sure a great step in the right direction. I'm a modeler/texture artist currently working in games cinematics. I really wanted to let you guys know that as much as the new modeling features are great, they are really just… -
Re: What software are the best for their purposes?
@HAWK12HT Well, Vitaly doesn’t use C4D ... He uses XSI for Polygonal modeling, and Moi3D for Nurbs. To add my own experience : -I use 3DSMAX In production for Polygonal modeling and in game models, UVS and non destructive workflow ! With KeyHydra and TyFlow. -Sometime I use Moi3D too if complex Organic HardSurface are… -
