The figure mode pose is correct? If so, turn off figure mode, go to the 'Keyframing tools' rollout and click the clear all animation button it looks like a white eraser. You will know the animation has been cleared because the footstep button will be available, you can't use footsteps if there are keys on the biped. If it…
Both, they are equally important. It won't require major rework as you already have a solid base. Key thing to do is clarify start/middle/end of all the important phases of the entire action. Take Brian's rule 1 to heart and key all your controllers for each key pose on the same frame. This will keep the blocking and early…

Hey Bardler - I can only partially answer some of your questions because I've done what you want to do, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember exactly how I did it - 1) I have a Maya centric set up too. To change the action of the middle mouse button, you need to go to the Input Editor, change "Edit Mode" to…
Thanks, ppenguin. I wanted to do very high-poly modeling for high quality renders, which is why I started out with SubD. I will try the Poly > SubD route (with Mental Ray's approximation editor) and see if it is any easier than straight SubD. I found out a couple of solutions, described below, tested in Maya 2008. If…
Okay, I'll go ahead and be the first to say it. But I can almost guarantee that anyone who responds to this thread will back me up on this. Don't build the whole thing in Flash. Right now, your portfoilo is constructed primarily using flash, with some callouts to the javascript Lightbox application. And its not bad. The…
hi everyone, i just installed quixel suite but soon found out that ndo just doesn't want to start up when i press the ndo button. The ndo button has the white border around it as if to say it has been opened but the ndo interface is nowhere to be seen. quite surprising since it used to work without any problems a year ago…
Howdy gents. Work just 'upgraded' us to Max 2013. I'm trying desperately to figure out how to remove icons from the MAIN toolbar. I did a clean up back in the day of my main toolbar in 2009, but can't recall the process. Now, in 2013, while some icons can be removed via Right Click>Delete Button, many others cannot. For…
I'm looking to click a button and run a bunch of lines of code and at the end update my variable so when I click the button the second time it runs some different lines of code. I tried this, but it's complaining about redeclaring the variable. What's the cleanest way to do a simple toggle where the state changes each time…
hello everyone, i'm new to this forum. i was trying to model an winchester shotgun, used in terminator series, for a next gen weapon. the problem is that i cannot scan or visualize correct normal map with Xoliulshader. even if i scan in max or in xnormals i get the same result(xnormals is better). i don;t see any button to…
