You're quite right, It happens in max too, I merely mentioned Maya because I was after specific work around instructions. Given that there isn't some magic tool or mel script to fix the problem, I guess I'll just have to cut back on the slopes on the edges. Thanks anyway I wonder, would it be possible to build a uv mapping…
Your technique doesn't seem to work GManX. I've gone over the instructions several times and am sure I've done everything the instructions said, but when I go to render the model appears without wires for about half a second and then the whole thing goes black. EDIT:Ok missed something. It works now, but thats a hideously…
While watching TV with my little bro--... ahh, who am I kidding, while I'm watching cartoons. I'm sure a lot of people will agree that the programming on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, has gone from epic to hogwash, via canceling old generation shows and putting on "modern" cartoons. (Not sure what cartoons are like…
I'm not going to go see this because by all reports, it's a good time but a bit brain-dead. I don't have anything against brain dead movies except that I personally don't enjoy them. But as Del Toro fan I'm disappointed to see that it's not performing particularly well in the box-office, to the point where Del Toro might…
so - anybody got it yet? am i missing the real max payne thread (TM) somehow? honsestly i was more than skeptical after seeing early footage - you might even say totally dismissive ;) - but having seen it recently i've just ordered this for 360. looks completely awesome and with an atmosphere that reminds me very much of…
you could bring the water to the horse instead as an alternative... Most of Maya's Deformers use a duplicate BaseShape strategy to calculate deformation. So, for instance if your sphere was a wrap you could slide across the surface by rotating the sphere's deform "baseShape" along with the explicit deform shape after…
By the way, have you ever seen an error similar to this? Error: file: C:/Users/Shelby/Documents/maya/2017/scripts/AdvancedSkeleton5.mel line 2212: Object 'separator21' not found. I've only noticed it when I updated to the latest Advanced Skeleton, but after uninstalling Advanced Skeleton and reverting back to previous…
@teaandcigs ya I had much of the same experience, twice when I was younger I tried to learn from lessons and found it useless. When I finnaly did learn it was through scripting for Maya. I just wanted to make some simple workflow stuff for Maya and it took off from there. Than after learning a bit of Mel that way I started…
What version of Maya are you using? versions before Maya 6, the clip system is just about unuseable. Not worth a bother. What we did instead is use a mel script called "pose2shelf", and "Selection2shelf" that will take a rigged character and move the pose to the animation shelf. You can make selections into buttons, and…
