Re: Incentive to learn Maya when already competent at Max?
I'm a Maya user who's never delved into Max to any great degree, but from what I've heard from friends of mine the animation/rigging tools in Maya are a lot better than the ones in Max, so if you're looking to develop either of those skills Maya might be worth a look. If you're just doing modelling, the Maya modelling… -
Viewport difference between MAYA and MARI
I'm working on a character model at the moment. The only real goal is to establish a workflow for creating modern video-game character models. My current workflow has been Sculpt in zBrush Retopo and UV in 3DCoat xNormal for Normal maps and AO Some hardsurface bits or basemesh construction was done in MAYA but it's not a… -
Re: Seriously Maya? Is Add Divisions that hard?
Hmm.. It tried it out myself and it works properly for me. I asked around and I was told that the "add divisions tool" only works on four sided faces. They might look like four sided but they might just not be and because of that maya goes nuts. Maybe you have a lone vertice on an edge, making a face have more than 4… -
Question about whether it's legal to profit off certain models in Maya.
Hello, so I am possibly going to be freelancing for an indie game dev team - however, I do not have a Maya license. I have the Student version only. So, I know that it's not legal to profit off a model from the Student version. However; let's say that I model a bunch of things in the Student version. Now let's say that… -
Re: Maya Extrude (Offset)
Normally this is fixed in Maya 2012. If you're using an older version of Maya, I recommend this plugin which copies 3dsmax's inset behaviour, it's also nice because it's fully interactive, like in Max: http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/modeling/poly-tools/c/maya-inset-tool -
Re: Normal Maps in Maya 6.0 tutorial
Daz, since you work at EA I believe there is a better in house tool for generating these, Maybe ask Cody what he used, I think Mo wrote the tool? Also if anyone is interested I found normal map shaders for Maya software and Mentalray that let you do renders and display the normal maps correctly, I can see if I can dig up… -
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… -
Re: Maya laggy slow rig problem
These are listed from least invasive to most. 1) What was tied to the mesh? Did you make clusters out of verts and use them in the rigging process? Blendshapes? Clusters? Point on Poly? 1a) Which skinning method did you pick? It wasn't Dual Quaternion was it? 1b) What was the maximum number of bones influences? Maya… -
Maya Questions
Due to a zany event here in the office, our team will probably be switching to Maya. I learned 3d modeling in Maya, so this should be no problem, but I haven't used it in a good 7 months as the office uses 3ds Max. I've forgotten a shit ton of commands, different stuff has gotten moved around with new versions, and I've… -
Maya 2016 Always Display Manipulator Handle on-screen?
Hello Everyone, hopefully a quick question for using Maya. I recently started the migration process from Softimage to Maya and am still adjusting. One of the humps I've run into during the adjustment in my workflow is that; In Softimage, there was an option to always display the manipulator on screen {{ I.e. If the vertex…
