Here are some of my favorite Maya hotkeys. Most stuff is crammed around QWER so I don't have to move my hand very far, very often: * Alt + D : Delete history (on selected object only) * Shift + Q : Toggle Wireframe on Shaded * Ctrl + Q : Toggle Selection Highlighting * Alt + Q : Delete most recent construction history…
poopipe From what I see in the node Designer just makes copies scaled down images till 2x2 pix where it perform roughly same and upscale back . Instead of doing blur or Sobel like . But it's extremely hard to read and figure out form their math nodes really as if they specifically tried to make it cryptic vs Blender for…
Have you heard of the loomis and Asaro methods? Of head construction.. should help with planes of the face switching between 2D and 3D might help you there.. I would suggest spending time on areas away from heads like anatomy, musculature, texturing anything else at all that will help improve other areas. When you do…
Not with any great confidence in the technical details - the issue was first raised by one of our render programmers after identifying huge stalls while profiling . The material that really upset everything featured nested branches that were driven by non-static boolean switches. eg.. bool /\ bool bool /\ bool bool (it…

I'l try and be extreemely specific now. I have two hands and a rifle for a first person animation, and i already have one hand…
Hey all, Working on the head section of my mech — day 2 into texturing. Looking for feedback on how to improve grime placement and add more storytelling to the surface. It’s meant to be a functional military unit, not a relic. Any tips or critique appreciated! Thanks!
Dude, you`re missing the point completely! Paragon was never meant as a be all end all fix. It was meant as a bandaid to tie people over while they fix the bigger issues. It goes back to what I said before. If all they did was put bandaids on, people will be pissed. As you just proved! They are tearing down some of the…
Hey there. Made an account just to leave a reply here. I've been a 3d artist for well over 25 years and I have to say your work is top notch. The attention to detail and models are excellent. I think you have to remember that we're going through a period where ppl that worked at Pixar for 20 years can't find a job, so it's…
@binopittan; cool that roccat thingy looks like its worth trying, never heard of it before (the brand or the keyboard). But... doesnt have 7 modifier keys :p alt tab is easy with the caps lock as tab... ring finger for caps lock, middle finger for tab. Still gotta move 2 fingers either way (usually you move thumb from…
I need to make a quick animation for my class literally due tomorrow, and something I'm really struggling on is animating the wheels. I am natively a blender user, so what I'm used to is, having a constraint that allows the wheels to automatically move with the body of the car. In Maya I used an expression to do something…
