Hey so I starting using maya 2009 at home and quickly realized I can no longer hit w to reset the move tool if I have constrained it to an access. Fucking pisses me off. For example, in 2008 I would select a cube, middle mouse drag and it would not be constrained to anything, then if I dragged on one access it would…
I tried both typing "Roadkill" and "roadkill" and have the script installed both in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\maya\2009-x64\scripts and C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\maya\scripts... I'm running Maya 2009 x64 btw... Any other suggestions?
Maya 2009 does not have the option to auto-refresh textures. One must manually refresh. NEX enables this feature. Is there a means of getting this feature without the need to buy and install NEX for those that only want this feature? I found this script with a search. What sucks is that the user has to manually enable the…
I'd like to know how I can neatly stack mirrored or similar UV islands using Maya 2009. How do you Maya guys achieve this so you don't have to snap 1 vert at a time to another? Snapping a element will collapse all verts of the element to the single vert you're attempting to snap to. I've been using the align vert tools to…
We had to reload 3d Studio Max 2009 at work and now that it is finally back in max will freeze every time I go to open the modifier list as long as an object is selected. If nothing is selected there are no modifiers to populate the list so nothing happens. Only when an object is selected and you go to the drop down. We…
Not sure why but when I installed Max 2009 on this new Windows 7 install my Isolate Selection tool was been broken, which as you can imagine is a real pain. The error says: Unknown property: "IsInstance" in undefined. The "Exit Isolation" box pops up still but nothing is actually isolated. I already have max set up the…
Hello, guys! We decide to make some skins for contest. 1st idea to make m4a4 in "80's sci-fi" style. UPD 08May Here goes! Finish Style: Gunsmith Working title of work: M4A4 | Astral-001 1st sketch: UPD 11May: We chose the idea of "legacy" weapons for our new collection, and we will make a new post for collection.…
In defense of the implied dig at fractal art, I would like to point out that part of the 'art' is getting predictable results out of often random effects. As an example, I have recently been working with a quality glass script in apophysis, with some fairly good results. The main challenge that I have set before myself is…
So I actually really like 2009s poly counter. Its nice that I can just hit 7, and it shows up in the corner and stays there, isnt a separate window that I have to drag out of the way or whatever. I also really like that it can show actual triangle count instead of just polys, and can show the selection and the total at…
Hey everyone, I seem to be having some issues I have never had before with my current project. When attempting to transfer high poly to low through Maya 2009, the normals come out with drastic changes in color. Obviously this would cause serious problems when used in a material, seen here in the form of dark tears: This is…
