Hi there! I wanted to know what are Your opinions on Maya? Mainly if you are having such problems with this software as I have. For starters I need to say that I really love maya's modeling workflow, tools and my favourite - pie menus. But as I have worked with Maya for about 7 years now I really started to hate Maya...… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag to Maya
Hey, yeah, well I guess I'm not exactly sure what Marmoset Toolbag really excels at, and I need some clarification myself. I haven't had the chance to play around with it, and I'm not sure if I'm going off on a tangent here, but I've seen amazing results produced with Marmoset and PBR materials. After doing a bit of… -
Re: Software choices + workflow advice (Maya user)
Thanks for the replies. Sure made me think hard. I do get stuff done comfortably in Maya. In fact I love Maya. I just feel maybe I am too much in love and can't see it's short comings objectively.

Huge rendering time with Maya Fluids and Arnold (Maya 2k18)
Hello! I'm working on a scene were a car drives on a dirty road, which creates a lot of smoke/dirt.

Re: Anyone rolling full Linux Workstation for 2D/3D work?

Great to see how far they have come especially now we seeing projects like Return to Vostok being developed in Godot. With Blender I only really am getting the hang of it due to… -
Maya XGen: What's the best way to smooth guide tips to make hair less bumpy?
I have here a flat top hair style with all the modifiers turned off so it's just the base xgen. I'm attempting to smooth the top part but each guide adds a little hill. At first I had spare hair guides, which is usually the best way to go, but this only made the bumps bigger. Each guide I placed just made the hills… -

Issues when importing rigged character from maya to unreal
Hey there, I managed to export a rigged character from maya to unreal. I´ve just selected all the mesh parts in maya+top joint and made sure to include deformations and baked the keys in Maya. But upon import in Unreal I have two issues: 1. The eyes "pop out" on a couple of frames. I´d guess this is maybe a subframe baking… -
Re: Maya Python - Project ideas for learning & practicing scripting in Maya?
Hey, so you mentioned that it's hard to identify tools since you're not on a larger project, but I think that when starting out you just have to start small with simple scripts. You can start thinking about your workflow whenever you do a project and work from there. So for rigging, I would think of things that I want to… -
[Maya] Cannot freeze object: this prevents a custom pivot from proper alignment
Hello, I have a problem in Maya. I am trying to align a custom Pivot along one of the edges and every time I do so the axis is not perfectly aligned. I noticed Maya gives a warning complaining about the object not being uniformly scaled. The suggestion is to freeze all transformations. However, even though I try to do…
