Been using Maya for years and years and need to use Max for a new job... Should be a fairly simple one but surprisingly hard to find the answer to online when you don't know what to search for! I want to move this vert to the right so it will snap in line with the one above. In Maya, you would click on the axis you want it…
Hi there, So I've been getting used to the nuances and annoying changing around of things in Maya 2015 lately. One thing I've always wanted to get decent at is Subdiv modeling since last time I used it crazy things happend, so I figured I'd finally give that a shot. Unfortunately, Maya 2015 seems to have changed this as…
Hi, i just got a new GTX 970, and all was good in till I went in to Maya 2015 and an error popes up "VP2 Error : Failed to initialize graphics device." i got really scared and opened some projects of mine and they all seamed to look fine, when I render them everything went well to the only problem is that I can not can not…
I wanted to ask if there is a way to render out shadow passes from Maya viewport 2.0.I want to render out the characters from the viewport using playblast and then render the environment seperately but the shadows being casted on the floor by the characters will not show without the environment in place.Is there some other…
Hello Polycount, I'm having trouble with Renderman, the textures I applied are rendering fine but they are not showing in the Maya viewport. Simply changing the colour slide bar does not show either. Pressing 6 does not work. I tested with Lambert and PxrSurface material and pressed 6, the object with Lambert shader shows…
you know in max, in the material properties you can set the material to ignore uvs and just display as if the image was covering the screen and the object acts as a mask to display bits of the image? so the texture is flat and does not warp around the object but the object just shows part of the flat texture. I'm trying to…
Okey, so i found this thread through the wiki. I'm making a tree and the leafs and what no could need some normal modification to look good. The script(s) is working and everything, but since i'm a maya guy i wondered if their was a way to do it in, wait for it, MAYA! And for those that don't know about the script. It…
Hey PC, do any other Maya users find when trying to get rid of a stray very on an edge. its too difficult? I can't just delete it. so I go to use the "merge vertex tool" and it wont let me click and drag the vert. It just does a drag select box over the vert, highlights it yellow and looks at me as if to say 'whut?' I'm…
Hello. Can someone please explain to how to extrude along a Nurbs curve in Maya. All tutorials I have looked at don't seem to work in Maya 2015. I create the nurbs curve, then put the object and the bottom where I want it to extrude along the curve. But when select them both and hit extrude the geometry end up like this.…
I am exporting an FBX (with baked animation) from Maya and into Marmoset, but the normals keep smoothing, even though I have hardened and locked them in Maya. Is there a way to keep the mesh in its hardened state as an FBX? (In the picture on the left, is the mesh imported as an OBJ with normals, and on the right is the…
