Hi guys, im working with maya for 6 years and in game develop for 2 years. I want to lern more about types of mapping and i heard that in Polycount are the best :) Im used to use Diffuse, Transparency, Normal map and a little bit of Specular but i heard in other sites about "Gloss map" and "TM" map!?

Hello peeps, im transitioning to Maya and having a bit of problems. What i want to achieve is to be able to switch between hotkey layouts on the fly according to my needs, if i model (i prefer to have ALL functions on keyboard, i hate pressing UI buttons) i want all my keyboard to be rigged for work as a piano, if i…
First of all: Yes i want to make the switch from Maya to Blende :-O In Blender there is a functionality called "Layers". If you have 2 Meshes called "mesh_a", "mesh_b" and "mesh_c" and you only want to work with "mesh_c", without every now and then hide the oder two meshes you could: put "mesh_a" and "mesh_b" into "Layer…
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem for Maya 2009 and it seems to be a known problem. Quoting Autodesk for Maya 2009 SP1 update: Stereo cameras and ATI graphics cards Due to an update in CG 2.1, stereo cameras in Maya caused display errors when using an ATI graphics card.

Hey guys, On the project I am working on right now I found myself going back and forth to the Maya Grid Options quite a lot. After a while I found it really tedious and time consuming. At the same time I find the window size way too big (and it also shows too many options that you set once and then you forget about): so…

Howdy, folks, About a year ago, my first book came out and I'm happy to say that they're wanting me to do another. In my first, I had sidebars spread throughout that were simple interviews with Maya artists and teachers. I'd like to do the same thing with this new book as well. This 2nd book is focusing on animation, so if…

I started by first using the default keys and navigation for a while, then modified them manually to have Maya-style…
