It seems like someone thought it made sense to make all the maya shortcuts which use ctrl on pc use cmd on mac...it wasnt this way on mac until maya 2015 and it sucks. I go between maya on pc and maya on mac and I want to use the same shortcuts for example in uv window holding down ctrl to go between edge,vert,uv, face…
Hi all, I'm having a problem with a sculpt in ZBrush 2018. I am very much a newbie to the software and am trying to create a sculpt without following a tutorial step by step (Been there, done that; will do more, but for now...). Using Sculptris Pro (in ZBrush 2018; NOT the free Sculptris software) and I hit 5.5 million…

Just wondering if anyone has noticed maya 2010 being laggy. For example when I duplicate a cube it has to think about it for 1 second. Easy way to test this, duplicate as many cubes as you can ctrl d and try to move it immediately. It seems to access the hard drive each time I duplicate as well? Went back to maya 2009 and…
So, after people talking about it here I thought it may be better to create a master thread for anyone entering the Blizzardfest 2014 contest. Since Polycount isn't officially entering the competition, this single thread may be a fun way to post your work on PC without having a barrage (assuming anyone plans on entering)…
I got 3ds max 2012 and the SMD plugin. I imported multiple TF2 characters , but they all had these spikes coming out of them which is connected to their rig or something. I heard about this bug but have no idea how to fix it since I ama newbie to this program. I heard converting them to OBJ files should work, but I have no…
I have a file in Max2018 which I am trying to import into unity . Normally I would rotate the pivot by 90 degrees on the x-axis, set the asix conversion in the fbx export to Z-up, and that would have the object come with 0,0,0 rotation atributes in unity. But it looks like max 2018's exporter is conflicting with unity and…
I am having more trouble than I should be with copying key frames in Maya. I am trying to animate an idle on one of my characters, and I am trying to copy keys to create moving holds. But I can't seem to copy and past correctly. I'll copy a frame and then I'll paste it at a different point in the timeline, and it will make…
