Re: Weird Maya smoothing angle issue
Surely modo has a way of locking the normals. Then you export your fbx with explicit normals from modo. Import into Maya and the normals should be as you set them in Modo. You can confirm this after importing into maya by selecting your mesh and turning on display>polygons>vertex normals in maya. If they are yellow, they… -
The Vector Displacement headache (ZBrush>Maya>Arnold) HOW?!
Hi guys, I've been trying to do this right a whole week now!! it's just a sculpted brick! nothing more! and I wanted to import that to Maya/Arnold with Vector Displacement, that's all, why is it so difficult to do this?

Baking Normal maps in maya using floating geometry
I'm having a little bit of a problem baking normal maps in maya using floating geometry to create my high poly model. It seems maya either doesn't like floating geometry much or I'm doing something wrong. I set the serach envelope to search inside and outside the envelope. I've tried tangent and object space. Neither work… -
Animation Student Looking For Realistic Soldier Maya Rig

Need Modelling Help - Switching from Maya to Max
I'm following through an excellent tutorial from 3D World learning 3DS Max (With some great hard-surface tips thrown in) but running into speed bumps. I'm solid with Maya, so what I want to do with Max is the Maya equivalent of: Select both objects > Combine > Merge Verts Been scrapping through google searches for the past… -
3DS Max - Multiple Edge Loops as seen in Maya?
Hi guys, I wonder if anyone might know of an easy way to insert multiple edge loops into a mesh similar to the way the "Insert Edge Loop" tool allows in Maya? I am an experienced Maya user but I'm trying to pick up 3DS Max. If no such tool exists, I would be interested to know how experienced 3DS Max users go about… -
[Maya] UV- Scaling without moving island around?
Hey Maya Users! Got a question for yah. Is there a way in Maya to use layout function only to scale the texel desnity of different meshes? I have UV'd everything so far, but I am looking for an automated way to scale everything according to the size of each other without moving them around. (If I use just the layout and… -
Re: Groovy semi-undocumented feature in Maya
daz, SHIFT + > is the most annoying piece of fuggery ever known to man. When it works its heavenly, but for me and 'every' other maya user I know, it stops working after about 20 uses and doenst ever work again until maya is restarted. I'm still hoping desperately that someone in the maya communty will make a… -
Re: 3dsmax's "Peel Mode" - Maya equivalent?
Have you tried "straighten UVs"? It's in the UV toolkit under "unfold" What you can also try is 'Unfold' but with the UVs you don't want to move unselected. Or you can pin certain UVs… -
Maya Viewport 2.0 HLSL PBR (WIP)
I've basically always been a Lurker ... but I wanted to get some feedback on a work in progress. I've done some shader writing in the past, for instance I wrote the paper shaders for the lanterns and dragons for this tech demo for GDC 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVY95DTW8UM That was a small project done in a…
