wow... i honestly don't think it will be that long before we don't even need to leave zbrush to do anything other than animation. sure there are bugs which are annoying. but the software grows leaps and bounds in each itteration. far more than any autodesk product does. at some point, i can honestly see pixologic being the…
Hey Hayden! I'm a Maya user, I was definitely considering Modo as an option - how did your modeling workflow change in Modo? How does it compare to the way you modeled in Maya? I'd love to hear your opinions on the nitty gritty. I am growing more and more frustrated with new bugs popping up in the constant 'upgrades'…

Quixel products are also amazing for students with their prices. The problem with modelling right now is that there is such a monopoly my Autodesk that they can get away with prices such as this. Modo has a better price but still it is autodesk vs the foundry with 50% less price but still no where near where it should be.…
peter zoppi's results are great but still doesn't explain why autodesk labeled gtx 6 series cards as not compatible in maya in their certified hardware faq. i emailed autodesk asking that question but still no reply. i would gladly love to get the newer gtx 680 over the 580, but it also feels like i am risking it, that i…
i would recommend max or maya using the students and unemployed professional program autodesk has. gets you the latest versions of all autodesk stuff, just a few resections in the license, but unless your selling content made with it or free lanceing with it, it wont effect you. also still pretty betaish but Voidworld is…

So last week I had an issue with 3ds Max not opening. I might have moved some files or something on accident. So I figured okay time for a fresh install anyways, it had been a while. I Uninstalled using the add/remove program tool, tried the uninstall / install tool on Autodesk website. It installs, but yet the new 3ds max…
I've followed the tutorial on the shader setup, but the issue persists. Could you point me to the tutorial about using object space + tangent space. Last time I met with Autodesk they actually fixed my Arnold bug with tangent space normal maps not rendering correctly unless you freeze transform, at the time he said Solid…
Final words from Autodesk: you can't use an anonymous {} to fake a block scope man, that's against the rules! - So (1) me getting OP's script to work is a bug in MEL. - And (2) Autodesk senior engineer advise the solution is to use global variable, even though we programmers and the Maya doc both agree global variables are…
