Re: [URGANT] Fixing a Maya MA file!?
" why not just save WHAT IS MADE rather than saving the STEPS IT TOOK TO GET THERE" the point of an ascii scene file is it can be parsed an written by third party apps and scripts. a ma file is essentially a mel script. so for instance you can have a compositing app write out a maya scene which has 3d lighting data that… -

Re: next gen woes?
Quads? Quads are great, they keep a clean mesh. They are NOT needed everywhere. My rule of thumb is to keep every deforming joint as quadded as possible to prevent pinching. The nicest thing about quads is that they keep a mesh looking less cluttered. It's been said many times - work smarter, not harder. I know work won't… -
DAZ to 3DS Max Bridge - VRay render
DAZ3D recently released a free script that does an outstanding job at converting a Genesis + clothes + Hairs into an fbx very well configured / rigged / skinned character. Some textures aren't placed properly and need to be moved/reassigned, the material editor once converted to VRay needs some manual cleaning. But it's… -
