Hey guys I'm switching back to maya from max. Last time I was using maya was back in 2008 and the only mel script that I used was mjpolytools. I was wondering if there were any new very uselful mel scripts(modeling/UVing) that I should get. For example in max "textools" is an amazing script that I can't live without. Thanks
Hi fellas, decided to show my latest wip here. I started working on this model few days ago and I´d really like to finish this one, because I´m pretty satisfied with the progress. Here´s a detail on the face: The limit is 6 000 tris. Right now it´s 3070 (including some redundant tris around the mirroring) I hope you like…
Hey everyone, I am about to start using Maya and I think the structure of a book would help me learn the basics for the program. I am considering buying "Learning Autodesk Maya 8|Foundation" and I'd like to know if any of you use this book, or if there is a better starter book I could grab. Here is the book on Amazon:…

It's a little hard to tell, but his legs look like they're too far apart, imagine him without armour and you'll get what I'm talking about. I have no experience with rigging though, I'm sure another one of these handsome devils will be happy to help you! P.S. Marcus from Gears of War was 15 000 polys!
Good start. It's mainly down to preference, but i'd model the hands in a more relaxed position instead of the "gimme a hug" pose.

What happens when you delete all lights from your level. Place a single pointlight in the middle of the level with a large 10 000 or so radius, and rebuild. What is the size then? Try to have a Dir Light also, not a dom dir light. Dir lights have no dynamic shadow and lighting, though that should normally not impact the…
Eggs are about 12 for 2.99 If I remember correctly.. i haven't bought eggs in a while though... but 1 egg is about $0.28 USD *** Update *** They just went on sale at Ralph's... $0.99 for 1 dozen eggs. New exchange rate is 1 egg --> $0.08 USD -- to buy 1 magician you need 150 eggs. *** Damn son
Yeah and maybe this was some sort of bug in 2008, some weird memory leak or something. It seemed like the more I worked on the scene the worse it would get, I had times where a bake that should take about an hour was taking 8-16 hours!!! When I figured out the delete history thing I was soooo happy.
