I got The Game Artist's Guide to Maya ages ago. At the time normal mapping was just becoming the "norm" for game characters. While this book does touch on normal mapping briefly, I think the book will only teach you anything if you are a beginner but I reckon there are probably more up to date books out by now. I haven't…
Here it is, an update that I promised before. I've remodeled the trucks and I think it looks better already (thanks to my skateboard, real object reference really help a lot! :) ). Some part still looks having a smoothing error though, but I hope when I already put some texture, it will hide it from an obvious error.…

I never had an issue using ActorX before for Maya 8.0 32bit, but there is no option for 64bit ActorX for 8.0... 64bit Maya 8.5 ActorX and 7.0 dont work. The error message reads: // Error: Unable to…
Hello, Im having to use Maya 8.5 for a month or so - Ive been able to transfer from max fairly painlessly - except for the first hour when I realized that it wasnt going to be a simple swap of shortcuts... Anyway - Ive found I can copy shelf icons from their defaut sections with Ctrl mmb - and drag them into my own shelf -…
I tried LS with both -hilite & -preSelectHilite... neither one gave me the other vertice hilited by the reflection settings. I found a big script for getting it the long ways.... http://www.supercrumbly.com/archives.php?sid=145 ....but that's way more hoops than I'd like to jump through every time just to get the vert that…
