How to reduce image quality when i`m working in UV Texture Editor? My texture in editor looks very blurry. 2. When i`m in shaded / wireframe on shaded / textured mode i cant select any edges or vertexes (only faces). What i`m doing wrong? 2009-11-24T18:20:47+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/maya-2009-wont-reopen----error-message/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/maya-2009-wont-reopen----error-message/page-last/#When:14:24:07Z I had been rendering batches of images -- everything was fine. Then one batch came up with Render completed almost instantly.

I have Daz and Poser and have some cool figures in those packages that I would like to modify with Maya tools. Can I import the Daz/Poser figure with all its Mats, Tex etc and lighting for a scene so I can modify in Maya?? I used Export Obj Wave file from Daz but the saved file did not have all the morphs or textures on it when I brought it into Maya. Shouldnt it have come across rigged already??? I might just be getting ahead of myself!! and should work through the tutorials first??? I would like to be able to use the alrady made figures though to 'disassemble'and play around with. This will help me learn some features of Maya.

I'm guessing only one file really needs to be thrown away — not the whole folder, but which is it? I'm in the middle of working on a thesis so I don't really have time to test them one at a time (much less in combination, etc.), so I was wondering if someone has already done this — or just has a good idea as to which pref file it could be. Here's the message: Fatal Error. Attempting to save in C:/Users/Xxxxx/AppData/Local/Temp/Xxxxx.20091109.1105.ma With the corrupt prefs still in place, I can trigger this by making any simple alteration on a construction history input node. For example, beveling a few edges of a cube and then changing the offset in the channel box. By the way, this error first happened when I accidentally performed a chamfer (instead of a SOLID chamfer) with Byron's PolyTools on some edges ... I was using the latest version for my system. This same thing used to happen to me with Maya 2008, but I am now using Maya 2009 64-bit sp1 on Vista Home Premium 64. 2009-11-17T13:25:35+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/what-is-the-best-way-to-transfer-files-from-maya-to-3d-max/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/what-is-the-best-way-to-transfer-files-from-maya-to-3d-max/page-last/#When:13:40:30Z I am trying to send model files to someone who uses 3D studio max and I use Maya 2009, what is the best format and how do I get the textures to stay on? 2009-11-15T13:40:30+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/using-two-different-eviornment-image-based-lighting/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/using-two-different-eviornment-image-based-lighting/page-last/#When:13:45:16Z In a single Scene, I want 2 different HDRI maps on 2 different objects through Enviornment Image Based Lighting option, rendering through Mental Ray & using DGS Material So that i can get 2 different HDRI Reflection on 2 different objects (Spheres). I know it is not possible because Image Based Light Creates only one Dome for image. So , how can we apply diff Hdri reflection images to our diff. Objects. Also if want to make similar effect of Chrome, how can we use HDRi reflection, using Maya Materials. 2009-11-14T13:45:16+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/fcheck-limitations/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2009/fcheck-limitations/page-last/#When:10:21:40Z Hi! I´m working on a project where my timeline is reaching over 50 000 frames. It´s important for me to use fcheck, but fcheck won´t load image sequences starting at numbers higher than 30 000 or so. It only displays one image. I only need to upload 5000 images at the time, and everything was peachy until the numbers grew to big. Is there a way around this problem? Roger 2009-11-12T10:21:40+01:00
