4.5 is a first step into a material-based workflow, we've worked pretty hard on laying the foundations in this release but there's more to come out course :) I'd definitely recommend giving it another go, especially if it's been some time since you tried it. I remember getting a trial some years back to have a go and just…
Hey everyone, I’m looking to put together a small team to build a free Five Nights at Freddy’s fan game. This is an unpaid passion project for building portfolios, gaining game dev experience, and making something genuinely creepy. The Game: I am keeping the exact setting and lore under wraps to prevent the idea from being…
Hi guys, I'm starting to learn about Python and coding in Maya, and immediately, I have a first project to work along with this lesson. I am trying to replicate the same user interface as Modifier Panel in 3ds studio max. I got most of the stuff to work right, but the issue comes in where the Layout doesn't change…
@Eric Chadwick, cool! This felt like a better alternative to sculpting detail, but I was vaguely worried that my reasoning for using this method failed somewhere ='D (Of course, simply doing it in texturing may be a better way for some of these usecases) The node tree is rather simple, but added a few more options:

HOWEVER If you want to…
As the title suggests, as I was experimenting with this feature, I've painted pink all over one of my bump maps. I can't seem to figure out a way to reset all changes made to textures, if at all possible. I could of course reimport my bump map but I feel as if I'm going to be using this feature I'd like to be able to…
I'm currently working on version 1.28 which will mean a price increase but also a great number of new features including extra strand types, wave frequency control, fade in/out control for the alpha, hex code for colors and hopefully the Load/Save Projects feature. Later versions will include the ability to add/remove and…
I'm working on a project that I'm pretty far with in dDO, but I want to try adding some normal detail by painting on the model. I don't really see an easy way of going about doing this. If I open up dDO and load the project, and then load up nDO. All nDO then wants to do is convert my active layers. Am I missing something…
