I need to see my place 2d texture nodes for my file textures. Somehow they seem to have disappeared completely. There are no nodes in the utilities tab, and expanding the network to see inputs and outputs is not showing them either. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a simple solution that I am overlooking? 2011-12-12T12:32:59+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/will-maya-2009-work-in-windows-7/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/will-maya-2009-work-in-windows-7/page-last/#When:13:32:39Z I have Maya 2009 running on a Vista machine and wanted to upgrade to Windows 7.

Im wondering if someone have this problem. I was evaluating maya 2011 before decide to upgrade. Then, I noticed that 2011 messed with many 2009 rigged characters. I did a research on google and autodesk documentation, tried all the service packs and hotfixes available, but nothing worked. So, uninstalled 2011. But then 2009 was bugged! When I create any expression that uses "rotation", it just crash Maya. Translation and Scale work fine. Uninstalled all maya instances, delete maya folder at My Documents, and Program Files, reinstalled Maya, but didnt work. The problem is just the rotation property! 2011-09-14T10:47:14+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/file-taking-1-2-hrs-to-save-in-maya/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/file-taking-1-2-hrs-to-save-in-maya/page-last/#When:00:13:59Z Hi Frndzzzzzzzz, Me n my group is making short movie all things are ready n we hav started animation so the major prob is this that as we import character to BG than it takes 1 Hr in importing the character n 1 -2 Hrs in saving that file.

Thanks for your help. 2011-08-30T12:54:25+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/cant-assign-referenced-shader/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/cant-assign-referenced-shader/page-last/#When:05:55:20Z Thanks in advance. I reference "object" and "shader" respectively. In that time, I selected some faces and assigned at those. After then, I changed "referenced shader" (remove a shader, so lose assignment) To fix change, I reassign another shader to object but I can't do that. There is warning like that. ## Warning: Cannot add "polySurface1" to "lambert2SG" because they are in a missing set within a referenced scene. Reload the referenced scene if it's unloaded, clean up the referenced scene or remove corresponding reference edits if the node has been deleted in the referenced scene. // It seems that the case is caused if I assign to faces not whole object. How can I resolve the problem? The only way to do is to do not assign to face? 2011-08-23T05:55:20+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/how-to-disable-stereo-camera-plug-in/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/how-to-disable-stereo-camera-plug-in/page-last/#When:03:03:53Z Since I do not currently need it, I tend to get annoyed when this plug-in somehow becomes required for a file. I have searched, but nobody seems to have posted regarding this, including newer versions of Maya. Well I did track down how it is happening. Every time I change a panel through the panels menu>panels drop down, the mouse has to roll over 'Stereo Camera' to get to the orthographic cameras - and Maya thinks that means I want to load up the stereo camera, so it gets loaded. Using the space bar to access the panels menu it is 'kind' of possible to guide the mouse away from the stereo camera on the way to the ortho camera, but that does not always work. For me, this means if I am not paying attention a file gets saved with the stereo camera as a requirement, meaning Maya will load this plug in. Getting rid of it by commenting out the requirement statement in the ma file means I have to load up a text editor. I do not know how much resources the stereo camera takes, it is probably negligible, but it's the principle of it. Currently I have moved it out of the /bin/plugins/ folder until it learns to not be so eager. But this produces warnings and red messages every time I mouse by in the panel drop down. 2011-08-11T03:03:53+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/maya-2009-copying-uvs-with-transfer-attribute-problem/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/maya-2009-copying-uvs-with-transfer-attribute-problem/page-last/#When:10:25:17Z I exported a poly mesh out of Maya into an OBJ. I then used UVLayout to setup the UVs. I am not trying to update the original object in the Maya scene with the new UVs. So what I am doing is importing the OBJ so I have the original mesh and the new update mesh both in the scene in the identical location, scale, etc. In object mode I then select the mesh with the new UVs, then I select the old mesh; go to Transfer Attributes, i set it to world (I have also tried component) and then click apply. When I look at the UV editor of the orinial object the UVs do not look updated. If I look at the attribute editor I see there are TransferAttribute tabs. But as far as I can tell the UVs are not being updated. I ran a test and I exported the original mesh into and OBJ and then created a new scene where I then imported the OBJ with the original UVs and the OBJ with the new UVs, did the same procedure as above and I see the new UVs being applied to the original mesh. The scene that it is not working in has rigging and animations done by the animator so trying to update the UVs and texture the object in the least amount of effort. If the Transfer Attributes is actually working is there something I need to do to see them applied? Like deleting history. 2011-07-19T10:25:17+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/grid-and-workspace-messed-up/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/grid-and-workspace-messed-up/page-last/#When:08:02:50Z Hi so i was opening a model the other day and after i closed it out and opened maya up again my grid and the workspace area are just completely and utterly blank for no apparent reason.... As can be seen in the attached Image.... The workspace doesnt seem to be doing much of.... Anything in general..... I mean if i rotate it moves but no grid or anything.... The workspace usually resets with a new document or file and its not showing the new grid or anything else and this makes it substantially hard... This happens with it being split to.... I am no sure at all why it is doing what it is and its quite bothersome so any help would be immensely appreciated.... Screen link follows as it doesnt want to attach hehe.... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d124/clubrepublik/maya.jpg Please note i have tried a resinstall as well as getting rid of registry entries and stuff in the application data folder... The script i added in mel through copy and paste is still there so i assume there is another area to remove since its not removing completely.... 2011-07-17T08:02:50+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/bonus-tool-create-curve-from-edges/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/bonus-tool-create-curve-from-edges/page-last/#When:01:01:07Z Where is "Create Curve from Edges" ? 2011-07-15T01:01:07+01:00
