Maya LT - Object becomes dark after duplicating
Hi, I'm making a model in Maya. I'm a beginner so I'm solving one issue at a time. This is my model. Now you'll notice that the other wheel is missing.

Re: Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
Thanks for commenting. I think I'll dip my toes for a month or two and endure the pain of learning Maya while following Elementza's course, even though the UI seems to be a bit better than 3dsmax's, I really dislike it not being blender's (maybe its just me being used to it) do you recommend any Maya tutorials? -
Maya UV distortion question
Hello, I am still new to Maya and I have a question regarding UV's. Pardon my lack of proper language since I am still learning.

This makes parity with other applications like Unreal a lot simpler. Don't have to mess with export settings or figure out any maths. The more softwares are homogenous the more brain can… -

Maya 2016 Target Weld Issue
Maya 2016's target weld behaves differently from previous Maya versions. When you select verts in vertex mode it remembers the selection. Now when you use the target weld tool, it automatically goes back to selecting the vertices that were previously selected in vertex mode. This is a problem because sometimes you switch… -
Getting started with MEL scripting in Maya
So after recently viewing some of Tor Fricks workflow, I really want to try and customize my workflow to really speed up production. I've often used hotkeys before but not in the way that I've recently seen most effective. A good example is how in Tors get faster with modo tutorial, he has hot keyed the ability to bevel…
