Re: arsh's maya questions
okay this is a general overview of how i was up and modeling in maya in about a day or 2 in my freetime.. probably took about 5 to 6 hours total for me to be up and running. another note is i dont use much of the interface in any art package, i always learn the hotkeys or map them to my liking so the interface never gets… -
Re: arsh's maya questions
I have a strange feeling that the answer to this will be a complicated shader tree that involves the use of the multiply/divide and addition/subtraction nodes. -

Re: arsh's maya questions
I thought this was appropriate enough to ask in this thread than starting a new one. Is there a feature in Maya that is similar to Max smooth mesh? I know Maya has a smooth mesh option, but it seems to lack the Max's ability to set smooth faces groups and materials. I have tried adjusting the options in Maya's smooth mesh,… -

Josh_Singh: "Maya has a function that will turn your edges without your permission.....it will try to find out the best way for a certain edge to be displayed depending on the angle of the mesh in the viewport.... How do you turn this off???" Unfortunately it seems thats hard coded in, we tried to get around it at work but… -

Re: arsh's maya questions
Ohh this I forgot to add. Every tool in Maya is basically a series of melscripts. If you wish to customize or program using mel without having to refer to codebooks or guides, you can open the script editor, and turn on echo all commands. It will slow down maya a tiny fraction on lower end machines, not at all on higher… -
Re: arsh's maya questions
High quality rendering is made for the higher end quadro or fireGL cards. It CAN work with I think the Nvidia geforce6600 or higher, but its an unsupported mode, and it straight doesn't work right on consumer grade ATI cards.. at least last gen's. Secondly, yes maya tries to triangulate the quads to keep a smooth polygon…
