Maya. Apply bend deformer to a part of mesh?
Hi! I'm wondering, is there a way to bend a mesh in a way that would only affect a part of it in the middle? I know that I can use low and high bounds in bend deformer, but that's very limited, and doesn't let me do what I want. I want to twist a section of my mesh into almost a tube, but leave the other parts unchanged.… -

Re: Maya 2014 right click menu not selecting
Yes, Maya 2014 will very rarely do very odd things. I had things happening that would have been hilarious, if they weren'T so sad at the time ^^ So the old rules still apply. Save often and use iterate saves. Also you might check if your object is inside a group (and ungroup it + try again). Or you could check if there are… -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
I constantly work with 10-20 characters in my scene, plus level geo, and have no issues. I've gotten maybe 2 crashes in the last 14 months? It's funny. When you talk to animators about their preferred tools, it seems like everyone hates the one they hate because it crashes a lot. But what's killer is that everyone has… -

Maya to Unreal - Vertex Animated Textures Baker Script
Struggled to find a nice easy to use Maya to Unreal Vertex Animated Texture tool, so I ended up making my own. Thought I'd share with the community here, so that anyone can use/improve it further for their own uses.

Re: Silent hill blood stains - Targas with alpha - Maya 2011 not displaying?
Totally, its really one of those 'shouldnt this just work' moments for me :P. I wonder if it has to do with the newer versions of maya. Maybe a new option box somewhere..? Hey Kodde: Its just an 512 targa texture on a plane. I make sure it has an alpha channel, but cant get the display in maya. Thanks for the wiki! Though… -
Re: Teaching self maya. bwaaagggillyglyjaaargfunkit
I tried learning Maya5 over a 3-4 month period, and gave up. The fact that I have to write a MelScript to do something as simple as target weld, put me over the edge . Though I do have to re-learn Lightwave for my new job . As far as the Max/Maya cut-off goes, I don't think Autodesk will stop making either one. Maya will… -
Re: Maya Python Scripting Help
I figured out where I may have an issue. I had been testing this in Maya 2010, and my instructor told me that Maya 2011 will not rename paths that don't exist, apparently this behaviour is the same in 2010 it seems and maybe earlier. Trying my script on actual file names like MoP did works fine but this was intended as… -
