All labels and values in channel box are not rendering UI seems to be "damaged"?
Don't know if the following error message is relevant.
// Error: menu: Object 'MayaWindow|MainChannelsLayersLayout|ChannelsLayersPaneLayout|ChannelBoxForm|menuBarLayout1|cbShowMenu|FilterUIAttributeFilterSubMenu' not found.
I have numeric values [St_NUMB] I'm adding as labels. I see that Map is converting them to strings [TOSTRING"(ST_NUMB)"]. The ST_Numb refers to a street number for a a house, and any outbuildings are labels as '0' (zero) since they are not technically an addressable structure. I have a large amount of data with a value of '0' (zero) that I would like to filter out of the labels. I'm really not sure what expression or command is the simplest to use.
View 3 Replies View Relatedis there a way to render a turntable sequence with the alpha channel in it? if i render a single frame, it does render with an alpha channel, but no luck with the turn around... (any plugin or and other kind of stuff?)
if not then can i change the colour of the background atleast? so that i can batch remove the background in photoshop (cant remove the black as my subject has a black texture on it)...i need to complete this project asap...
I would like to replace texture on rendering with use of UVW channel encoded as RGB.

I am currently rendering 3D models' height maps using a gradient ramp with an UVW map. The models can be trees, characters etc, it's not terrain.
I would really like to know how to use all 16,777,216 colors so that my height maps have that many different values.
So far I only managed to used the gradient ramp and gain a total of 766 different height values. I use 4 colors in the gradient, here is how:
- First gradient ramp color is full black, and placed at position 0
- Second one is at position 33 and is RGB(0, 0, 255)
- Third one is at position 67 and is RGB(0, 255, 255)
- Fourth one is full white at position 100
This totals 766 different height values retrieved using R+G+B (0 to 255+255+255). What should I do to use the full 16 millions colors?
With my current gradient ramp I cannot use the whole RGB value (i.e. a 24 bits integer, 0 - 16,777,215). I have to separate channels into 8 bits integers (0-255), because with 24 bits a higher value is not necessarily representing a higher height. That's due to the way my gradient is made, and I couldn't find better than what I use.
I'm attempting to render a series of images in the cloud and my plan is to take these images into Photoshop so that I can apply a background from an image I possess.
To do this I need the background to be a plain white background, export as a TIFF or PNG, then add an alpha channel in Photoshop. The problem is that whatever settings I apply in Revit, the cloud rendering always gives me the standard grey / blue horizon background. I have changed the render settings using the render setup, through the view properties, through the graphic display, still no joy....
I just transferred my Maya software over to a new Mac, It works normally except that the channel box shows nothing when an object is selected. If I click in the blank fields the values show up, but I cannot see the descriptions of what those values are for. I have tried the following: Dumping the prefs, reinstalling, contacting support (since it is a student license the y do not provide support, but did suggest the prefs idea), followed by deleting all Maya files and folders, library prefs and reinstalling from scratch. the result is the same. I am running Mac Snow leopard, which is new to me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've come across a weird problem. Whenever I select a channel in the channel box ("Translate X" for example) it is immediately unselected. This prevents me from selecting a channel and middle-mouse dragging in the viewport to adjust its value.
This only happens in particular scenes. But if I start a fresh scene, I do not have the problem. Is there a button somewhere that I need to deactivate to fix this?
I've been using Maya's HumanIK function for my model for a game I'm building. I began doing some animation, but I'm running into multiple problems. I've noticed for a while now that moving the IK handles with values from the channel box is a complete waste of time. It is unresponsive to the Channel Box numbers and how I can make it so it is. The only way to make the IKs move is to move or rotate them directly on the model with the basic manipulator tools.
Not only that, but did the animation, which for now is an idle breathing stance, between frames the animation moves on its own, beyond the scope of what I told it to move, even when its between two of the exact same frames. I haven't animated in a while, so I can't remember how I used to fix this, but since I know a bit more about animation now, I dabbled into my Graph Editor. Moving the curves have no effect on the animation either and I can't change the tangents nor use the smoothing handles.
The closest thing I found was something saying to change my Animation Settings in the Preferences to make the HIK curve default to Independent Euler-Angle curves, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I am having an issue with transferring my attributes from one object to another, the transfer works, but not 100% - the animation is taking place in the wrong translation, but the translation match in the channel box. It didn't take the place of the old object, it went off beside it.

I'm having a problem with being able to select inputs in the Chanel box / layer editor ! I am using maya 2012 on a MacBook pro , for instance if I create a cylinder ,when it's created I bring up the Chanel box , I have : pCylinder1 then the boxes for adjusting the xyz axis etc , then shapes / pCylinderShape1 , and that's it ! I have no inputs tab to adjust sub-divisions etc ?? Have I not got something selected

I am doing lighting now. Everything is fine except a scene.When I open the scene,it's blank in the preview window but everything is here,just like the first picture.When I open again(didn't close the maya window),it's better but still blank in the default quality rendering,like the second picture.Until I switch to the high quality rendering mode,it just display something like the third picture.

I am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.
The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.
I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.
On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.
Just made sure updates for the video card and all the hardware were current and still getting this problem where when I go to adjust a channel of video a random frame from the below channel will insert itself into the clip that I just moved as if it was married into the source footage.
