Also the rendering in mental ray takes a very long time to get a single frame done even in the most basic settings. I am working on a dual Quadcore MacPro with 9 gigs of memory, a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card and 2 monitors. if anybody has any ideas on how to fix this problem i would appreciate it. thank you 2013-05-16T05:32:28+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/need-work-done-in-2011/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/need-work-done-in-2011/page-last/#When:21:29:27Z I've downloaded a model of an Ape with fur that I need to pose (for still renders).. I have Maya 2014 and the "Shave and a Hair Cut" plug-in only works for version 2011. Can anyone help me? I'll pay you to just do the work for us... I have already purchased the model... thanks 2013-05-13T21:29:27+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/mental-ray/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/mental-ray/page-last/#When:02:22:55Z i didn't get mental ray rendering option nor shaders.what should i do? 2013-05-07T02:22:55+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/channel-box-not-showing-anything/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/channel-box-not-showing-anything/page-last/#When:18:22:47Z i apologize if this issue has been discussed somewhere but i have been unable to locate if that is the case. This issue just started today, as it was working fine last night i am using Mac OS 10.6.4 snow leopard The problem is that my channel box does not display any information at all. The fields placeholders are on the screen, but not showing any information. Service pack 1 claims to have fixed this problem (bug # 256814), however, this is not the case for me. I have reinstalled a maya, installed service pack 1, restored factory defaults i have attached a screenshot of the problem as well any help is greatly appreciated 2013-05-01T18:22:47+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/maya-crash-while-caching-nparticle/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/maya-crash-while-caching-nparticle/page-last/#When:10:14:18Z Hi, I am trying to cache nParticle in my scene file but whenever I hit caching, maya crashed.

When I switch applications on the Mac Maya's windows keep popping over my current application! Maya's windows always want to be on top of everything. For example I switch to iTunes and my Hypershade covers it. It should go behind the current application. This wasn't a problem with 2010. Anyone else has this problem? Anyone found a way to fix it? 2013-04-04T10:08:32+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/texture-premultiplication-issue/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/texture-premultiplication-issue/page-last/#When:08:49:39Z Hi. I'm working on a project combining 2D and 3D, relying heavily on the use of animated textures with alpha transparency. My issue is that my textures have a black outline around the edges, both in the viewport and in renders. The textures are coming into Maya unpremultiplied (with aliased colour channels extending to the edges of the antialiasing on the alpha) and the black outline is more obvious the further away from the camera the object is in render, so this seems to be something Maya is doing rather than an issue with my textures. I have found that manually extending the colour channels beyond the edges of the alpha seems to solve the issue but considering the volume of textures I'd have to do this to, this isn't really a viable workaround. Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this issue? 2013-03-31T08:49:39+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/hypershader-issues-with-showing-hierarchy-of-nodes/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2011/hypershader-issues-with-showing-hierarchy-of-nodes/page-last/#When:19:05:49Z before i did a reinstall and got this i was constantly getting designated work area tab not found.
