First of all: Yes i want to make the switch from Maya to Blende :-O In Blender there is a functionality called "Layers". If you have 2 Meshes called "mesh_a", "mesh_b" and "mesh_c" and you only want to work with "mesh_c", without every now and then hide the oder two meshes you could: put "mesh_a" and "mesh_b" into "Layer…
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem for Maya 2009 and it seems to be a known problem. Quoting Autodesk for Maya 2009 SP1 update: Stereo cameras and ATI graphics cards Due to an update in CG 2.1, stereo cameras in Maya caused display errors when using an ATI graphics card. This has been fixed. Go to…
Maya Renderman vs Maya Vray. Which one has the better preset material library? Vray has two guys that have put out a generous preset library of preset shaders. But, I can't find any preset library for Renderman. Which one is easier to learn? There are many Youtube tutorials for Maya Vray and many tutorials to buy online. I…
Hey guys! This will be a bit of a long post, and I thank you for anyone taking the time to read this..! Background on career shift: ・Back in 2018, I couldn't find any fulfillment with my current role as a DevOps at a financial institution, so I took a leap in my career to leave my job, and pursue the things I've been…
Right, I had another go. I stopped near the end as I was experiencing a weird bug with the multi cut tool (Maya) where it would only select the opposite side of the mesh. The old mesh is in white and the new in green. The top extrusion isn't there, and I simplified the hinges as I ran out of gusto. I made the main form as…

Hey guys, On the project I am working on right now I found myself going back and forth to the Maya Grid Options quite a lot. After a while I found it really tedious and time consuming. At the same time I find the window size way too big (and it also shows too many options that you set once and then you forget about): so…
I'm just looking for a better script editor for Maya LT . some of the scripts I have messed around with have got a little long especially when doing things like UI and I could do with some extra features like: - being able to collapse blocks of text, - some sort of Intellisense style autocomplete - and maybe something to…
Howdy, folks, About a year ago, my first book came out and I'm happy to say that they're wanting me to do another. In my first, I had sidebars spread throughout that were simple interviews with Maya artists and teachers. I'd like to do the same thing with this new book as well. This 2nd book is focusing on animation, so if…
