Hi I was referenced from someone that Maya has the ability to automate smoothing of vertex normals through a settings menu. Considering Max has maxscripts which don't seem to work for me, I've been willing to turn to my student version of Maya in order to get smoothing of vertex normals done faster. He talks about bevel…
I am having a hard time making tear's in Maya for import into Zbrush. Particularly, my character has torn sleeves up to his shoulder. I have imported clothing from Maya into Zbrush which look pretty good. The problem is when I add the subdivision's onto it, the tear's that I have made don't start looking like tearing…
Hello friends and thank you for potentially answering my questions. I recently upgraded from Maya 2012 to 2015 at home in an attempt to stay current with the latest workflow, but also because there is a viewport anti-aliasing issue that I've been dealing with that I hoped upgrading would take care of. It didn't. I've…

I am having a problem with the default layered shader that I am using in Maya as it only seems to render out the top layer in Mentalray. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there another material I should be using? Here is the Maya software version http://www.flickr.com/photos/89952669@N05/8315921214/in/photostream…
Most 3D apps support customizing the mouse/viewport controls. I believe MAYA does not. I know most people will advise using the default navigation layout of MAYA. But I will be using 3ds max for quite some time and having to mentally change navigation all the time works. I am so used to 3ds max navigation, I really do not…
