There's a couple things that Max have that seem essential to modelling that I can't seem to emulate in Maya. Does anybody know of plugins or work-arounds for this to work? I'm sorry if this is already up, I couldn't find it. Cut Tool - Yes we have the split polygon and interactive split tool, but I can't get either to work…
So I am a student currently at a community college doing Game art and design. While the program is good, they're very broad and their time with hands on in programs is limited to 12 weeks then you move to a new program. So far I've run through a lot of adobe products, very few autodesk (besides Maya) and not much else…
Hi folks! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I have a couple of questions in regards to referencing objects and materials. What I'd like to do is create a library of materials and a library of more complex objects (with hundreds of parts) that would be used again and again for various projects. Then pull those objects…
Looks like a fun park, but ya i don't see any Mayan at all and the spec on that floor makes it look like plastic. Maybe some mayan statutes and pillars, broken and whole, would help.
Like the others say, ditch Maya for AO and learn to use Xnormal. The results are better, faster and can be done with multi million poly models with a high number of rays. Maya chokes on around 1.3 million polys for me, and I have to use very low values for raycasting. It takes a bit of experimentation to get a nice result…
I just graduated from VCU with two BFA's. One in Painting and Printmaking and the other in Kinetic Imaging. During my time at school I took some 3D classes but only one of professors was really that great. I am trying to focus more on character modeling and 3D animation. I am very familar with other programs like Adobe…

Hey, I have a strange issue I can't seem to figure out on my own. I recently started using Maya and am trying to unwrap an object of mine. I've been using Max for a while and when I am packing and normalizign the UV's in Max, it actually normalizes their sizes to be in relation to each other... With Maya, it does some sort…
Hi everybody. I'm using Maya 2013 x64 on Win7 x64. And when i assign zBrush genreated normal map to my model i see strange artifacts. I.m not sure that it;s seams but look very alike. I tried to reverse red/green channels of my NM - no result. I've used different materials. And tried to find answer in the net. All solutons…
Hello Polycount. I have a question about topology in Maya, I see a lot of 3d models that have very smooth surface but with least amount of polygons. How is it possible to have that kinda of smoothness but without having many polygons?…
