Maya 2013 'Decayed/Warped Edges' Viewport 2.0 (bug?)
Hey guys :) ! I'm not really sure what to say about this one. :poly122: I guess I will ask you guys if this has ever happened to you, if it is a known bug and/or if there is a workaround to fix this 'bug' (hardly seems like a feature?).

Is 3DS Max for Hard-Surface modeling drastically different than Maya?

I understand majority of everything is transferable knowledge wise, but… -

3Ds Max crashing when skinning FBX imported from Maya
Hi guys, I've got an FBX mesh character exported from Maya. When I add a skin modifier and add bones it seems to crash. It's stable until you try to move a bone, then after around 2-3 seconds max crashes to desktop every time. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the mesh as I've skinned up a cube and that works… -

Maya Set Driven Key issue
I'm working on a joint-based facial rig and I need to create a library of facial poses, and I thought I would use set driven keys to create this pose library. I don't need an animation UI, since it's for motion capture, so what I did was just create a locator with a bunch of custom channels corresponding to each of the…
