How can you bake out a 16 bit normal map in Maya? I know EXR can bake out 32 bits but is there a way to change the size of the bits for any other maps in Maya?
Have you thought about using Marmorset? You can do some cool stuff and there is tons of information on the net for that. But i have never tried that personally, so i don't really know. About that quality loss, i asked a co-worker: if the quality loss is already in the rendering: set the Filter in the multi-pixel Filtering…
I have imported OBJ file from Zbrush to Maya, but it's missing polypaint. Is it possible to have that displayed in Maya? I'm aware of Goz, but need an alternative if there is one? thank you for your help
Hi guys, I've attached what my problem is. It's basically a view-port issue with Maya. The version I am using is Maya 2016 SP6. I'll attach my normals but I don't think that's the problem as they render out okay and look fine in different software. Any help on this would be great. Thanks.
So I'm trying to learn Maya and I'm making a Star Destroyer as a first project.

Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a bind here and said bind is attempting to make a spiral in Maya as easy as it's done in Blender (and I'm not much of a Blender user). What I'm trying to do is make an ice cream come like the kind you'd get from a McDonald's. The following Blender tutorial models this pretty easily but Maya's…
Hi Guys, apologies if it is a simple question, but I am learning Maya and I cannot find a way to reproduce this feature from 3ds Max with the standard tools. Is there anything similar to 3ds Max 2.5D snap mode in Maya? I can find the standard snaps in the main UI, but they behave like the 3D snap mode. When I am in an…
Not sure exactly where to post this but i have been having some issues with getting assets into Unity out of Maya. The scale for the project is 1 unit = 1 meter and I have Maya set to 1 meter. I checked the FBX settings and set the measurement to meter in there as well. The object itself is about 2m x 3m and it seems to…
I've been having this error for the past few months since installing maya 2010. I'm running on: 8gb ram Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel i7 Cpu AMD Radeon HD 6950. I've had multiple complete system crashes, and face selection has been slow ever since I installed maya. It doesn't seem to be a graphics card issue, because…
