Migrating from MayaLT to Maya 2018
I am trying to move a project from Maya LT to Maya (finally upgraded). Due to the polygon export limit on LT, I broke up everything logically and exported out the FBXs with embedded media to preserve materials. Then i copied all the texture files into the new SourceImages folder. Everything is working ok, but every time I… -
Troubleshooting a troublesome scene, Maya 2018.
Ok so I'm preparing my final animation for university and I've been building assets for the last few months. I decided to upgrade to Maya 2018 because I wanted to make use of the new hair tools... I was previously using 2016. I've nearly finished the bedroom environment in which my animation will take place, and I've been… -
The Necromancer - Retrogasm 2018
"My commands shall echo forever in their dusty skulls." Finally finished! This is my entry for Retrogasm 2018. This guy is from Lost Kingdoms on Game Cube, a game I used to play all the time as a kid. The necromancer always stood out to me since he was the first serious boss fight in the game, and also terrified 10 year… -
3ds max 2018 - How to make an object emit lighting / glow
My aim is to create solid objects that can emit light. To the effect of what's in this image with the colored balls. From that point I'll alter the setting for what I need. So Mental Ray is no longer a part of Max, and every tutorial I find uses methods I can't since I'm on 2018. I've tried fiddling with the render, and… -
Maya 2018 - Cannot locate Soft/Harden edges tool
Hello! I am currently following a tutorial from a Patreon artist I follow. He is using a tool called Soft/Harden Edges which is under Mesh Display. I am using Maya 2018 and I can only see it as Soften Edge or Harden Edge. The Soften Edge tool seems to soften it too much more so than in the tutorial. I know there is a… -
[Maya 2018] Multi-Cut tool moving geometry after cutting!?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziI6EGH7-Jw I made the above recording because trying to explain it was a bitch. Move edges into place > cut the mesh as shown, and then the end result moves the edges randomly away again. It is also not possible to undo. - Reset Multi-Cut tool settings - Reinstalled Maya 2018 - Newest GPU… -

Displacement shader will not render in Arnold for Maya 2018!
OK, so I've been stucked with this problem for weeks now. Searched the whole internet and tried a bunch of different settings. But still no progress and it is getting really frustrating I can't seem to solve this "simple" problem. I've created a detailed sculpt in zbrush and rendered out displacement maps and a lores obj… -
Render to Texture problem, 3ds Max 2018
Hello, I hope I have put this in the right thread. I recently upgraded to 3ds Max 2018, coming from the problematic 3ds Max 2014. However, I have encountered a problem when rendering maps on a small box model I have made. Basically (and unlike what I experienced with the older version of max) the render seems to only be… -
3ds Max 2018 - Numerous issues: Middle mouse not working, unable to select verts / disappearing mesh
Hello, I've recently been experiencing horrendous issues with 3ds Max 2018. These issues include: - The middle mouse button failing to work, or receiving enormous lag when trying to pan the camera. - Being unable to select edges, vertices, polys and the geometry fading and losing the edged faces view - clicking anywhere in…
