I'm getting back into using Maya (Maya LT 2016) after mostly being a Max user for many years. I spent a long, challenging day today trying to make progress on a partially completed model I started in Max a while back. I learned random small things and did all sorts of somewhat chaotic stuff, trying to replicate ways I…

If i got to redo it i would focus on 1 thing till it was "mastered", and then maybe move on. I got stuck into doing polar opposites…
Well, here's what I DO know. The traditional polygon rendering pipeline currently in use was designed specifically for single-thread operation. This is why an entire industry sprang up around designing and selling independent 3D cards. The current rendering pipeline needed an additional processor to really push…
My brief two year stint of college is over. I feel like I've come full circle, and even though I accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time, the thought that 'the one-eyed man is king in the valley of the blind' steals most of the victory away. I've learned that success is action through ownership of oneself, not…
I think throwing your hands up when Maya get's it's window focus wrong is totally in order. I've come across this as well and it does seem to be an issue of Maya getting focus wrong.. It's been a big issue with node editor vs bifrost graph editor fighting for focus too. It doesn't operate by magic, but it does operate by…
