Optimizing geo in Maya without destroying UV Coords
Hey guys! Did a bit of a hunt for this in the forums already but can't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for. As a Max user, if I wanted to go in and collapse some verts on a textured model I can usually get away with checking off "Preserve UV's" in the toolbox on the right as long as I am not destroying the… -
(Solved) Maya Import - Hard or Soft but never mixed?
Hi, This seems like something that should be so very simple I am afraid of asking here. But how does one preserve hard edge/soft edges across export and import? Somehow for a simple export of following model, Maya Import will convert all soft edges to hard edges. Sure, it preserves the normal just fine, but I lost all the… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
This, while disturbing, could be good news for us for the immediate future, but 1-2 generations down the line, innovation will slow, and hopefully a new competitor will rise to the challenge. Pixologic anyone? Maybe a Zbrush 3 or 4 with integrated animation & compositing? I have yet to be bitten by the XSI bug. Silo is… -

I'm working on the eyebrows of my character and I followed this tutorial : https://vimeo.com/71620108 The eyebrows spline system works great but when I rotate the head of my character, a sort of double transformation of the… -
Re: Maya - setting the size of a modelled object
That's actually really good to know, because I'm a Blender guy and the lack of dimensions bothered me in Maya when I used it. I usually use Blender's z-axis (which is up in Blender) from dimensions to determine the height of the character when using metric units. EDIT: So, if I scale my character uniformly in all axises… -
Maya skeleton glitch, not displaying properly anymore
Hello, I have been refreshing some rigging skills and was following an online tutorial for this project. The joints/skeleton and controllers were displaying properly a few weeks ago but now when I opened up my Maya scene file, it flashes a few times between the proper skeleton and the glitched version before staying… -
Faces darker than surrounding faces in Maya
Hi everyone, Maya/3d modeling beginner here with a project I'm working on to familiarize myself with the modeling toolkit as well as the rest of Maya. I've been stuck for a while trying to figure this out. What I did: I used quad draw to patch a hole of faces in my mesh. What I already searched for: Flipped normals,…
