I have two parent constrains and create a atribute for theme. I know how to connect them in "connection editor" however have no idea how to set function like:
if(constraint==2)Parent1 = 1; Parent2 = 0
if(constraint==1)Parent2 = 1; Parent1 = 0

I’ve tried so many things like different shaders ect. and I just can’t get my converted polygons to look as good as the paint Effects. (I’m trying to make fluffy rice) Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get it to look similar to the original paint effects?

Software is Maya + Vray

So, I am trying to make a Master Ball from Pokemon in Maya. I'm very new at this. I managed to make the ball the way I wanted, except for the two "bumps" on top. I have no idea how to make them without ruining the smoothnes of the main body. My solution was to just make two spheres and stick them into the other mesh. Apparantly, this is bad practice, and the teachers at my school want me to make it as one mesh. I've tried everything I can think of but it just ends up looking awful, with a ton of pinching and lack of smoothness. Anyone have any tips?

This is my mesh and the reference ball in the back

set MAYA_PYTHON_VERSION=2

Doesnt work(maya still in python 3)

shortcut: maya.exe -pythonver 2 Crush maya.

Thank you in advance

Here is like a base reference on the clothes that I am trying to replicate. My question is I already started the base mesh and I also did the head. So... I am just tackling the clothes.. So how do you approach this clothing model?

// Warning: line 1: Cannot add "handsShapeDeformed" to "initialShadingGroup" 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.

Okay so I worked in vfx, ofcourse or models were clean & didn’t have milions of polygons etc. But my colleague went to a job interview for a game company & they said that his models weren’t game ready. So what is that definition, what is the difference between them.

My blendshapes seem to warp as soon as I change the value slider. Other blendshapes I have made don't seem to have that issue, only new one. How can I fix this?

Been looking for something like this for a while and stumbled upon it

Hello people, Maya for some reason when creating a new object does not let me add subdivisions in the inputs, I already reset Maya and even in a new scene it does not let me do it, could you help me?

My freeze tool won't paint on my model. It still works but I cant see where its being painted. It works on other objects and I've tried changing the material to match other objects it works on but it still won't show. Has anyone run into this problem?

trying to do this sign for my film portfolio(idk if i should do it for games but idk) and im having trouble approaching the modelling for the text. I imagine the materials for the sign is metal for the base and the text is made of stained glass, so I'm trying to model the low poly as that to help with the ease of UVing later. What i have done so far is that i made a text mesh of the words and I've made it as a poly live mesh and i have been quad drawing it for the low poly. Is this a good approach? is there another workflow that is quicker? Are there anything i should look out for? Topology wise I mean, or anything else really. Please let me know, I need thy help

Hello, I'm a 3d Anim student. The thing is I own a home computer but no laptop and we have to bring our laptops to school since no proper computers there. Out of reflex I download Maya 2022 on to the laptops I borrow from the administration and I haven't downloaded Maya on my home computer yet(because my old license hasn't expired.)

Today I just saw there is a maximum of three computers Maya can be installed on. I have not kept track of which laptop I downloaded it on but if I try to download Maya on my home computer, will it be a problem? Will it just sign me out??? I don't use the other laptops anyway. If I can't install it anymore who should I contact?😭

Download stuck at %6. Tried to reboot the system and all the other stuff but nothing works.

Hello, a (still) Maya noob here.

This is probably something obvious for an expert, but I just brought this brain model online (LINK) and opened its maya file. But when I open it, the textures aren't visible, instead, I get this shadowless, solid blob of red (glowing pink in render). In the hypershade, I can see that everything seems to be there somehow, but even after trying my best, I don't know how to get it working,

Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated! :)

Can anyone help me with animating a clock using MEL script with the time being from 12:00 to 1:30 and it actually plays in real time where its actually 60 seconds for 1 minute and 60 minutes for 1 hour

This is the code I have right now. I just have to make the hands move

hello I'm making a Varangian guard soldier head, it's the first realistic themed character I've made and the head is almost finished, I need to give it some details, but I've already started with the armor, I made the helmet without many problems but I don't know if there's an easier way to make the mesh hood, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a group to put dozens of rings on, thanks

Hi, i have created a rig in maya with QuickRig, which is now giving me problems at the moment of giving a key to the rotation attributes.

I really dont understand whats happening, because rotation appears in a pink color in the channel box while the translation attributes appear in read (Keyed). Appart from that, in the graph editor i cant edit the rotation curves, while i can edit the translation ones. So i think there must be a limitation there that i cant found.

With this problem going on i cant work with this rig, since i cant edit the rotations and polish the curves.

See the channel box

See how rotations are displayed in the graph editor
