Re: Maya - Display hard edges on "Invisible" triangles
I don't think it is. Left one in Maya should have 4 vertex normals whilst the right one has 6 vertex normals. Maybe some shader magic could offer you a solution? Not sure where you would start on that shader though. You'd have to identify where that triangle split is. Maybe it has to do which the fact that a quad in Maya… -
Y-axis locked in Maya's UV Editor
Hello! For some reason Maya's UV editor isn't letting me scale in the Y-axis. Every time I try to use it it just scale in the x. I've checked my tool settings and my constraints are off and no video or search has been able to help me so far. Is there anything I should try to help me resolve this? -
Maya: AO to Vertex Colors?
How do you bake Ambient Occlusion to vertex colors in Maya nowadays? Mental Ray is no longer supported, developed or even shipped with Maya. Arnold lacks this functionality, and TURTLE is yet another thing in the long list of stuff that Autodesk acquired (to increase stock value) but then just abandoned. xNormal has this… -
Re: Does Maya have an equivalent to Softimage Prop Model Tool?
gah I say! Curse Maya and it's works...well, maybe not exactly but it's a bummer when Maya is the package that roled with my PC purchase and I can't afford max or XSI :( That said, setting the move tool to "average normals" seems to present the option to slide around whilst broadly keeping the surface intact. But I do say… -

Re: Baking AO in Maya 2012 using transfer maps.
Yeah its pretty messed up that maya still doesn't have proper ao baking with transfer maps. When I looked into this I was told that the workflow is to uv your high, bake the ao from the high onto its uvs, and then transfer it along with your normal map as a diffuse map with transfer maps.... Yeah, like that is something I… -
Re: Chances of working with 3DS Max vs Maya in the industry?
Learn both or at least one and accept you might have to learn another package for a new job. That said if I had to pick one? I'd pick Maya. I'm not a maya fan and come from a long 3dsmax background mixed with Softimage. However friends at several of the bigger companies have all told me Autodesk are, essentially, asking… -
Re: Maya folder confusion!
The My Documents maya folder is not "untidy", it's set up so that multiple users can all have different settings. The oldschool way of having everything in one folder means settings don't get saved per user. The main program should by in Program Files/Autodesk/Maya<version> Maybe in Program Files (x86) if you've installed… -
