I have exported so many types of image sequences from After Effects. Everytime I select my sequence, it gives me 36 frames of nothing. Then at frame 37 it gives me the first frame of video and holds that frame for 33 frames. Then the next frame and it holds that frame for 22 frames. Then, it gets progressively faster. I am using Maya 2008. My scene is set to 24 fps. In the preferences, I have tried "play every frame" and "real time". My original video was exported at 23.98 fps. My scene duration is 0 to 351. My image sequence is 352 frames. The timeline plays through frame 351 but the actual frame being shown is around frame 100 so the entire image sequence never actually plays out. Please help. Thanks. 2013-01-10T10:51:52+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/maya-2008-batch-render-problem-error/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/maya-2008-batch-render-problem-error/page-last/#When:10:49:07Z When I tried to batch render my scene, the command line said ''Rendering with Maya Software...'' as normal then a new window poped up and it said ''Autodesk Maya Error report'' (a screenshot of the window): [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3654/unbenanntwd5.png[/IMG][/URL] In the report details it said: Error signature Application: Autodesk Maya Version: 200708022245-704165 Error: Unhandled Exception reporting details This error report includes the following: * Operating System name and version * Product name and version * Graphics configuration driver name and version * Applications that were loaded when the error occurred * Active command when the error occurred * Computer name (if enabled via the Deployment Wizard or the CAD Manager Control utility) NOTE: Even if you don't provide your contact information, it may be present in your error files.

I was wondering weather this a normal thing in maya, and how to stop it, because it's very annoying and extremely complicating when working....Any ideas people??? :) 2012-05-18T19:43:36+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/making-a-game-with-maya/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/making-a-game-with-maya/page-last/#When:22:58:31Z i am an aspiring game designer, however i cant afford those fancy $1000 programs that im sure i need to make a proper game. plus, im not even through highschool yet(just a junior). So my question is, Is it posible to make a simple game in Maya? for the computer of corse. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 2012-03-27T22:58:31+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/avenir-truetype-font-compatibility-issue-with-create-text-bevelplus-function/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/avenir-truetype-font-compatibility-issue-with-create-text-bevelplus-function/page-last/#When:11:43:29Z I am able to create beveled, extruded text with any of the installed Windows truetype such as Ariel and Times New Roman without issues. However, a client project requires the Avenir typeface, so I installed Avenir and it's entire family on my Maya 2008 workstation and Maya can see the type family and all seems fine until I create the type. Then Maya produces this error and no object appears: [code]// Error: bevelPlus4 (Bevel Plus Node): Group 2 curve 2 is not inside the previous curve. Group these curves appropriately in Adobe (R) Illustrator (R)[/code] I have tried all the variations of Avenir typeface, but they all produce the same error. I found that if I use characters that do not contain a hole in them, such as 'm', 'l', etc., the character/object will be created. However, in the case of 'm' the geometry is distorted when the bevel is turned on, even if bevel amount is set to zero. Is there a known issue and workaround or fix for this? I am going to be creating a lot of flown 3D text and will need to use the client's typeface frequently. 2012-01-25T11:43:29+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/is-maya-2008-64-bit-a-memoryram-or-processorcpu-intensive-program-when-rendering/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/is-maya-2008-64-bit-a-memoryram-or-processorcpu-intensive-program-when-rendering/page-last/#When:13:25:33Z Reason for this Question: 1. I am a System Builder not a User of Maya. 2. I want to know whether or not the Processor or Memory makes the difference,or both. If you need more information from me,ASK, I in return will ask the users of the program that i deal with. I have found Posts that "imply" that this Program uses a lot of memory,but i have yet to find a DEFINITIVE ANSWER. 2011-09-12T13:25:33+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/maya-viewport-problem---far-objects-disappear/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/maya-viewport-problem---far-objects-disappear/page-last/#When:20:42:14Z hi l was setting up blue prints car to model when l imported the images and changed their width and height to the images resolution l started having this problem whenever l zoom in l get this( the planes start to disappear from the center)....any body can tell me how can l fix this! 2011-09-11T20:42:14+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/setting-default-browser-in-maya-2008/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2008/setting-default-browser-in-maya-2008/page-last/#When:08:52:41Z Hello all, I cannot get Maya to access any of the help docs anymore. I accidentally installed Google Chrome during an update, so I went back and uninstalled it. I want to continue using Internet Explorer. Apparently Chrome set itself as the default browser, as I get the following message anytime I try to access the Help Docs: Windows cannot find 'ChromeHTMLshellopencommand'. I have tried resetting the associations of Internet Explorer, but have had no success. Unless I'm simply not doing it right, there is something else I must fix. I am using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

I would like to include render layers, like diffuse, reflection and occlusion into my exr file for compositing. If this is possible, can you please explain or point me to some documentation on how to set this up. I am new to using Mental Ray. Thanks, Wes 2011-03-02T20:28:14+02:00
