Maya :: FBX Import Only Partially Visible

May 15, 2011

I would be able to export an FBX file from Revit directly into Maya (I work for an architecture firm and we exclusively use Maya), especially since none of us have 3ds Max... I am aware of materials and RPC conflicts and have tried every way I know how to to simply export basic architectural models so that they open in Maya (I'm fine with adding shaders in Maya)... So I've tried everything I know to modify the file but no matter what I do I seem to have this gray shade that blacks out the model if I try to zoom out (in Maya). I even downloaded a trial of 3ds to try it through there with no luck. Same problem... I can tell the model is there and complete but like I said, blackout whenever I rotate and zoom.

Maya Modeling :: Mesh Partially Changing To Wire Frame

Feb 12, 2013

I have been working on a head model on and off for a couple of days to practice extrusion methods, I have been working with smooth shade. When I went back to it yesterday I came across this problem - Anytime I went to extrude/bride/append/soften normals etc my model the part I was extruding would turn to wire frame and an unrelated part of the head would change to wire frame also. I am mirroring the mesh down the middle; sometimes the mirrored half is changed to wire frame also, sometimes not.

As I didn't know how to fix the issue I reverted to an earlier save I had made before the affected areas had been built up. Now I have nearly finished getting back to the same point I was at yesterday I'm coming across the same problem.

Maya :: Place 2d Texture Node Not Visible?

Jul 5, 2011

I am working in the Hypershade in Maya 2009. 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.

Revit :: Import Geometry Will Not Be Visible In View Using Current Settings

May 23, 2012

I'm trying to import one Revit file into another. When I try to link the file I get a dialogue box that says:
 
"The import geometry will not be visible in the view using current settings. The Oringin of the import will be centered on the origin of the model instead. You can view the import in any view where its geometry is within the extents."
 
For this it sounds like the imported model is way off to the side or way up high or low but even in a view that I increase the extents to maximum i can't see the object.
 
I've tried "center to centre" and "origin to origin". I've check in the visual graphic and can't see anything turned off.
 
The file i am imported ia a structural model export from Tekla that I imported into a Revit and cleaned up. Everything looks fine when i open the file on it's own.

Illustrator Scripting :: Place / Import File To Visible Layer?

Jul 26, 2013

I have been working on a script to place a psd file onto only one visible layer (document has multiple hidden layers). This java code has worked so far:
 
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var onFile = File("C:/Users/Desktop/Desktop/ExportedArtboard-01.psd");
var mydoc = doc.placedItems.add();
mydoc.file = onFile;
mydoc.embed();
 
however this works with only the top layer visible (eye turned on in Ai). if top most layer isn't visible i get "target layer cannot be modified" error.

For instance say i have 1,2,3 layers. layer 1 (top most) and 3 (bottom most) would be hidden, layer 2 (middle layer) would be visible and then running the script would place the psd file on to layer 2.

Maya :: FBX Import Error

Jan 23, 2012

I am getting some crazy normals when I try to import an FBX file. The meshes I'm trying to bring in end up looking disjointed. I can go through and manually delete each polygon and then fill in the hole, and it looks fine, but I certainly don't want to have to do that for thousands of polygons in each model. I've had this happen with every FBX I've tried to import. How I can make these look smooth again? I've attached a picture to show what I mean.

I've tried re-creating the UVs with planar and automatic mapping, but it didn't work.

Maya Modeling :: How To Import All The Objects

Feb 20, 2011

I am looking for the same function in Maya that I use alot in 3DS. In 3DS, you can "Merge" (import) models from another scene (file) into your current one. It allows you to pick a single model from the imported scene to be imported into the current scene.

I know Maya has the import function but it seems to import all the objects. I just want to import a particular model.

Is this possible in maya?

Maya :: Import Bezier Curve From PSD

Feb 15, 2014

I have created a test bezier curve in Adobe Photoshop, saved it as a .ai file for import into Maya, and imported the curve successfully.  However when I try to revolve it to create a sculpture, it revolves around a pivot point which is in the middle of the scene.  Is this error because of the .ai file format? I don't have Illustrator as such, just using a .ai export from PSD so I can use PSD which I know better - to get the curve in the first place.  Is there a way to look at the curve in an editor of some sort and precicesly locate the pivor point, reset it etc?  The file is also not yet in a default project, as I'm just testing first.  I am a rank beginner, having used Maya for 4 months, 8 years ago, and now need to learn the program for work.

Additional notes: I did get the revolve to work by manually moving the pivot point but it wasn't very precise, and I'd like to know how to do this ahead of time as I have to make quite a lot of these...

Maya :: Import Collada Files / Animations

Dec 6, 2013

I am trying to import collada files/animations into Maya which require the colladamaya plugin. This plugin appears to be very old, as the Feeling Software site it used to be hosted on has now changed to another company.  

When I try to install it on Maya 2011, a message appears saying OpenCollada didn't detect versions of Maya 2009. However, I have seen it is possible to get the plugin working on Maya 2011. 

I am now stuck with only source files, but it is unclear as how to use these source files to get the plugin to work? There is no installer anywhere and the instructions are very vague.

Maya :: Model Not Showing In Viewport After Import Of 3DS

Apr 20, 2011

I probably changed a setting in Maya 2010 and did not know the bigger implications. How to reset maya's viewport settings back to a normal state?? If I have to re-do any of my two plug-ins, that is ok. Last time I messed with maya it was version 5.

I have many, many models done in 3DS, Max and Blender that I am trying to convert over to Maya (my day job's 3D IDE).

I can view any maya (mb, ma) files with no problem. But today, I am having issues viewing results of simple 3DS imports in any viewport of maya.

The attatchments are of the same file (.3DS) being imported to blender3D and of Maya.

Maya Modeling :: Import Accurate Work Paths

Sep 21, 2012

Ever since I started to take 2d personalised icons and create them in 3d, Ive only ever known of one method to do it:

1- create a work path in Photoshop or Illustrator
2- save it as a 'path to illustrator'
3- import this in to Maya
4- select the work path then go to surfaces> plane options box. In there, I would usually go for the poly option, with quads and create a count of the maximum faces (1000)
5- hit create and I would get what Maya's best results were and simply, tidy up and remodel the surface accordingly.

Then, a friend of mine said, why dont you use Cinema 4D to do that. He showed me the work flow, and its SO much easier. Not only does the work path import into Cinema 4D, with a perfect outline of the icon BUT you can also create a poly perfectly. With no tidying necessary.

Why cant Maya do that? Or can it, and Ive just not found the best method?

Ive attached an image. The icon to the furthest left is a FBX import(created in Cinema 4D)of a final version of the 3d icon. And the centre work path is an .ai file, created in photoshop and to the right of it, is the poly model with a plane surface on it.

Maya :: Import Error / No Module Named Stereo

Jan 19, 2013

Whenever I try and click on the "Render Settings" button, it gives me this error at the bottom right of my screen. It appears in red, so I am guessing it is a critical error or something along those lines.

But once I click the "Render Settings" button once more, the window pops up (with the addition of the error) but with absolutely no options or tabs to choose from or click on. With the exception of the render layer option and the render type (Maya Software and so on). This leads me to believe that this error (being: Error: ImportError: No module named stereo), is preventing Maya from functioning properly and preventing me from modifying all of the appropriate render options.
