Question about an "X-Ray Mode" for curves in Maya (Like bones)
Does anyone know if it's possible to enable an "X-Ray" mode for curves in Maya, similar to what's already available for bones? I'm building a rig and would like the controllers to be more visible in the scene. The HIK control rig has this feature (and I think those are curves), but I can't find a way to do it in Maya. I've… -
3D Flock Code Challenge
Considering it's running in Flash, I've developed some very fast 3D flock code. Despite being art focused, I know polycount has a good handful of programmers, so if you're up for a challenge, see how fast you can get an epic 3D flock running at.

Lightmass wont render an OpacityMask that uses vertex color
Hey Everyone, I have some glass that I wanted to have a layer of sand sitting on in my mission. I figured this would be a reasonable place to try and use vertex colors. I made an evenly subdivided plane and set up a simple material that just took my sand texture and masked it using the red chan in my vertex color node (I… -

Re: Softimage to Maya hotkeys
Maya's Hotkey Editor is pretty robust, you should be able to do everything in there (Window > Settings/Preferences > Hotkey Editor). If by "toggle selection" you mean to switch between object and component mode, I think the code is SelectToggleMode That will switch between object mode and the last active component mode.… -
