Python Maya Coding: Help!
Hey everyone, Stupid easy, but I can't get it to work I'm trying to import maya.cmds as maya USING the userSetup.py file. I'm in the right file path {C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\maya\2016\scripts}, but it won't load when maya opens up (tried maya.ls(sl = True)) Can anyone help? -
Re: how to edit a generated mask?
You can also paint in the layer mask itself and have your generator as a part of the mask stack with multiply blending mode for example. You can also paint a mask on some layer in the very bottom of the stack , set anchor there and then use fill in your target layer mask stack with a link to that anchor. Sometimes it… -
Re: Forest Environment
ok finally i found the time to setup a quick example ok this was very fast, very simple it'll work in your case also, had not much time for setup... here we go diffuse alpha normal ok now you create a new material like this: 1 is a simple texture sample, so you either go on the right tab to texturesample (if you want to be… -
Re: Soldier Tina
Like I said, there's is nothing I can technically criticize here, it's really very good, and I realise that my comments can be read as being mean or nasty, but that was never my intention. I also agree that you should do whatever you wish, I was simply highlighting what some art directors were saying. I won't mention which… -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
Hey John, sorry didnt see the bump. So reason why it doesnt work is because geo is a temp variable that is referenced in the for loop (You can call it later in the script too but it would be the last object in the selection list or objects passed in. What you want to do is seperate functionality into functions. This way… -
Re: 3DS Max + Vray - render text and finished images

I used substance… -
Re: Shader fiddling (getting rid of blue)
Well, standard normal maps range from -1 to +1 also. Also I have no idea how your dot products are doing anything with the output of those mask nodes. The mask should function like the hlsl component swizzle, just outputting a floating point scalar. The dot product is only valid between vectors, so something has to be… -
Re: Texturing car tail lights
That would look something like this: This is done using the above mentioned method - bump offset node in unreal / parallax, and opaque material. Note how the reflection of the light source stays smooth because the normal isnt directly applied to the material. If you are working with unreal by any chance, you could also use… -
Re: Max vs Maya
This has always bugged me too and I just had a talk with tacit about it. I came up with a quick and shoddy but functional solution :p * { //polyBevel + drag Attribute Context + open in history string $bevelName[] = `polyBevel -oaf 1`; if (!`contextInfo -ex FBdragAttrCtx`) dragAttrContext FBdragAttrCtx; select -addFirst… -
Re: Maya - Legacy Default and Legacy HQ Viewport SLOW / Viewport 2.0 Takes Ages to Load - HELP!
Specs and tri count are fine... so how about textures? Is there heavy transparency here? The display prefs have an option for material loading, Parallel mode is multithreaded in case you missed that one. I've never encountered VP2.0 needing to process anything, so I'm having trouble picturing this. Does it give you a…
