Re: Maya + Arnold + AOV (Normal) [SOLVED]
You can try adding a custom AOV, and then create a aiUtility node, change shade mode to flat color, and color mode to normal. Plug that into your custom AOV's shader option. Picked this up from this tutorial: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ZLGNG (at the very bottom) Good luck! -
Re: Maya mel script - move selected vertices to 0 on x axis
Something to be aware of: If you use the -hilite flag with the ls command, you can potentially get more objects returned than just the object on which you have vertices selected. For example, make two cylinders, select both objects, press F9, then select vertices on just one of the cylinders. If you perform:… -

Re: Maya - find a mesh in Layers
just seems you were doing a lot of extra work in the api, when the exact same thing can be done with less code in mel, or python via cmds or pymel. when in the end execution is almost the same anyways. i tend to switch between the api, and scripting depending on the what needs to be done, and since the api is good for… -
Re: Substance designer for modeling. What's the advantage?
That's a good point, I didn't think to mention geometry nodes Designer's model graph was never finished and had some pretty severe weaknesses that prevented it from ever being worth using. Houdini is fine provided you can deal with houdini - I'm not a big fan but it is by far the most powerful option. For anything where… -
Re: Anyone want tro help me out with shader code?
Ugh, never mind. Yay for code typos! I got that first set of code to compile and after fixing a stupid code bug, it works. Thanks a ton! I can finally start experimenting ... -
Re: Albedo viewing mode in editor?
I think there's a CVar to disable Post Effects too, but I'm not sure how far that goes since there isn't really a post-process editor to my knowledge. It may just be the bloom and HDR settings disabled. In the Art and Technology behind Crysis 3, there were a few screenshots of Crysis 3 levels during development in… -
Can you stop Lightmaps from LODing?
So I am working on a gray scene to work on my lighting. I've been primarily working at home, but today I tested it out on my work computer, and now i notice my light maps are LODing and they look like crap. I never noticed this before on my home computer. So i decided to rebake on preview and once i did the LODing went… -
Zbrush crashes every time in 2.5D mode
Hey, it appears I've found a bullet-proof way to crash my ZBrush in 10 seconds. *hooray* In case you want to see if you can reconstruct this behavior, the steps are: 1. Drop to Canvas 2. Drag out new instance of object in 2.5D mode 3. Move Object 4. Drop again 5. Drag out new instance 6. Crash! (7. If it didn't crash at… -
Maya '14: Exporting a deformation to FBX
I know that the only deformers that Maya can seamlessly export to FBX are skinclusters (from traditional joint binding) and blendshapes. Apparently, there is a way to export other deformations by including the geometry cache in the export but I can't get it to work. I always get this error: "The FBX plug-in cannot export…
