So, recently, I've been following a Maya course for beginners since I come from a XSI background and I came across this issue that can be best explained by the video down bellow.

Hey folks, I have a really strange problem with maya here. I have been using maya for quite a while now and this never happened to me. Some components of my model does not display the material correctly only in some faces. At the beginning I thought it had to do with the normal directions, but it is not that, all normals…
Hey all, Im working on a model that requires all UV shells to sit edge to edge on pixel borders (low res textures). Ive used pixel snap in Maya to make sure all my UV edges are on pixel borders. Everything appears to be fine with my shells. However, my texture is bleeding pixels across UV shells. Nothing appears to be…
Hi there, This is more of a Unity problem but I will need to work with this in Maya to solve it. Basically I have a rigged character with a hat, belt pouches, and a gun guided by various parent constraints. I also have an animation where the character draws his gun from his holster and aims, which is done with keyed parent…
For one of our 3D artists I've ported and extended a shader from Unity3D to Maya. The shader in Unity3D uses PSD files as input for textures and makes use of the alpha channel of one of the textures as a heightmap. In Maya it seems as if the alpha channel is lost, because it's always 1. We tested this with PSD and PNG…

PBR is a realtime PBR shader that allows the user to display full PBR in the
Maya viewport. The main goal was to make previewing game assets or animations
as simple as possible. I wanted the user to just take their exported textures
and their favorite HDRI without needing to worry about dependencies or…
I'm trying to symmetrize some UVs through the specific tool (Symmetrize) in the UV editor. I want to set the symmetry axis by clicking on a central edge. At first it worked like a charm, I managed to select the edge and the axis would move accordingly. But then, at some point, it stopped responding. What I do: .: Open the…
I've written a new tool in Python for Autodesk Maya called Nightshade Blockout. This tool makes creating blockout/selection maps a piece of cake: http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/script/nightshade-blockout Features: -Easy to use, no-bullshit user-interface. -No need to clone your mesh(es) or use "Transfer Maps".…
Thanks for commenting. I think I'll dip my toes for a month or two and endure the pain of learning Maya while following Elementza's course, even though the UI seems to be a bit better than 3dsmax's, I really dislike it not being blender's (maybe its just me being used to it) do you recommend any Maya tutorials?
Hey folks. I'm having some issues getting Vray lights to preview in Viewport 2.0 of Maya. Currently I'm running Maya 2015 and Vray 3.0 on a windows 64 bit machine with OpenGL. An example of the results I'm trying to achieve can be found in this video below- https://vimeo.com/80629239 Furthermore, here is a screen record of…
