Apologys for this being an amateur question (I assume it is) also apologys for my spelling, (Dyslexic, but using a spellchecker) Anyway straight to business, I am preparing for my Graduation show and final hand in of my Environment project at the moment (hand in is on the 6th so rely working on it day and night now) my…
Hi there! Beginner digital artist here. I'm texturing someone else's model, and I've run into two problems in Maya 2012. I'm doing an Ambient Occlusion Bake on the texture using mental ray batch bake of a Surface Shader with mib_amb_occlusion mapped to Incandescence. Works fine most of the time, but the bake always ends up…
Two Maya shading-graph chores I kept scripting — curious how others approach them: * Duplicating a shading network with clean names. Maya's duplicate/paste leaves pasted__ prefixes and number suffixes; I ended up walking the upstream graph and duplicating with unique, clean names instead. * Merging duplicate file-texture…
Its only user interface. I can select everything in the viewport and slide it all around just fine and fast. Though the drop down menus, the buttons and mouse dragging with shift to make new objects is insanely laggy. I have no idea why. Its not my iMac specs for sure but I'll leave them below anyways. iMac (Retina 5K,…
The settings I generally used it for (eg, selecting the gpu to use etc.) are handled properly by windows now but the control panel does appear to still be present on win11 - perhaps they got pushback and left it there or perhaps i misread something. I'm probably not on latest but im likely on the one before that

bigger update: I crossed the buttons that have no functions yet - those are planned atm. but not yet added. Be carefull though as open UV-editor overwrites color settings of your UV-editor such as background color and edge color. I have not yet tried it on other computers here but those should be the only settings that…
Painter 2 crashed my whole computer (got a grey screen) when I was working. I had just saved and started doing another task within the program and that's when it crashed. Got a grey screen and it automatically restarted my computer. Once back in Windows 7, I loaded up Painter again, tried to load my file and it gave me an…
@Eric Chadwick Hey! It's all just fixed densities now set dynamically via sliders/input boxes, I don't have subdivision levels yet but that's on the short list. I did some early experiments with instant meshes as an external tool dependency but the quality wasn't quite there, and you can't use the field/curve guides…
Oh how novel, another 'Maya blows' thread! People never quite get this, but Maya is exactly what you want it to be. Target weld mel code: /* targetWeld- emulates the behaviour of the 3dsMax tool - snap selected vertex to location of a second vert, and weld/merge them. Campbell Strong 9/02 4.0 > 02/03 4.5…
