Okay so I'm new to Maya and I've looked online at a lot of tutorials on how to bake an AO, none of which are using 2016. All of which use Mental Ray. The steps they take are to enable it in the plug-in manager window. It's not there, so for some stupid reason Autodesk did not include Mental Ray with 2016. Is there another…
Hi all, So I already asked a very similar question to this earlier, but I just wanted to double check on it. So I would need to download Maya 2016 to use the Stingray PBS shader for PBR materials, however since I'm ultimately going to be using Marmoset Toolbag to display my work via screenshots, can I just use Marmoset…
I have 3ds max 2016 (with sp2 i think). And i have imported a rcs point cloud. Im trying to build geometry on the point cloud and for that i need to snap to the point in the point cloud, but it doesnt work. It ignores the snap. I tried what i could but it doesnt snap to the point cloud points. Sometimes (1 out of 20 tries)…

The past few years I barely averaged 2-3 books, despite being an avid reader when I was younger. In 2016 I finished 36 books and I'm partway…

So many good things happened this release. I'm super happy. That being said... it's all stuff we've been asking for for like... the last 5…
Probably an easy fix (hopefully). I recently opened an old model in Maya 2016, when I click the mmb + shift keys I'm unable to orbit. I'm not sure if I accidentally assigned the orbit to a new set of command keys. I tried to repair Maya 2016 and restarting my computer to see if setting it back to the default settings would…
