I have Maya 2012 Creation Suite x64 on Windows7, and just installed Hotfix 2.
PhysX has now disappeared, no plugin reference or shelf.
I've tried loading physx.mll manually, but reports missing procedures.
Also tried setting MAYA_PLUGIN_PATH to the nVidia Maya plugin directory, no luck.
What am I missing, and what did Hotfix 2 do?
getting the DMM shelf working. No buttons appear at all. This is on OSX 10.6.7
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've experienced a major issue with baking rigid body simulations in PhysX for Maya 2012 64-bit Hotfix 2. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
The simulation runs fine in the viewport, even in Viewport 2.0. The animation is a classic 10-pin bowling shot. When I try to bake, the whole thing goes haywire. Pins lean over and start dancing insanely. Not a desirable outcome.
Every so often some Tabs will disappear from my Shelf. I only notice the Polygon and Surfaces Tabs missing, as they are the ones I use most often. When I restart Maya, my Polygon and Surfaces tabs return. But after setting up my Project and re-opening my scene, the Tabs disappear again, and my custom Tab is also empty too. I have read that deleting preference files will return my shelves. But honestly, this is always happening too me, why are my shelves disappearing seemingly randomly, in various projects.
Is there a way to just add the Polygon and Surfaces shelves again?
my buttons in my custom shelf disappears when I restart maya. maya has admin privileges and the prefs folder in my documents is not read only and my user account has the privilege to access/write this folder. I'v tried renaming my prefs folder so that maya creates a new pref folder when it starts. that way the shelf works but in that way my other settings are lost.

I want maya to open with my custom shelf tab selected. Ever since I installed SP1 maya now opens with the last tab in the shelf which is DMM. Furthermore, if I install the physx plugin then Maya opens with that tab open. Can I set it so Maya always opens with the shelf tab I WANT?
I've had this problem in 2011 and 2012 on 2 different machines, but haven't seen it on the bug list, and have seen a post saying the hotkey combo for 'add menu item to shelf' is the same it's always been - Ctrl-Shift-Alt, then selecting menu item.
But when I press that, the menu item executes, but no shelf button appears.
I use this combo - a lot- to make custom shelves per project or need. Frustrated it no longer seems to work.
So in the transfer maps box dialog when choosing what maps to output, the AO and Custom map option has disappeared from the list. All the other options are still there, normal, displace, etc. I defragmented my disk drive a while back ago but that can't be it, can it?
Running Maya 2013 on Win 7 64-bit.
Do maya have a way to reference meshes (like in softimage/max)? Its basically like instancing a mesh. However tho changing the "parent" object will change the "child", the child wont change the parent.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAn animator has been getting a crash when unloading a reference in some of our scenes. When I take the same scene and try the same unload-reference operation, it works fine for me without crashing.
I've attached the crash log from the animator's machine.
We're both on Maya 2013. I'm on Windows 8, he's on Windows 7, in case it's relevant. We're using the same set of custom plug-ins.
Note that we're not using nested references - this is a top-level reference that we're trying to unload.
I noticed this in the online readme file for Maya 2014: MAYA-19363 Unloading reference node may cause Maya crash.
If so, is there a workaround for Maya 2013 till we all move over to Maya 2014?
i'm new in autodesk maya's world, so i'm having some problems with it, my class is working in a 3d dragon, we started with dragon's body, but, now, we are working in its head, so i started importing images into the viewport, but i cannot move them well, because there's a kind of ghost image with them (i put two images, and there's a ghost image for each one) and when i put them in perspective view to see where i want, they often desappear, and i cannot work with them, i tried deleting history by type, and center each one's pivot, but it didn't work.

Problem is, whenever I export, maya gives me an error window saying "Warning: unable to export some materials", and "The plug-in does not support the following material types: Material mia_material_x_passes14 will be exported as a grey Lambert material" 7 times in the 'description' part of the error window.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load Bullet plugin in Maya2013 on Ubuntu. I got this error when I try to do so:
# Error: file: /usr/autodesk/maya2013-x64/scripts/startup/bulletInitUI.mel line 29: ImportError: file /usr/autodesk/maya2013-x64/lib/python26.zip/hashlib.py line 63: No module named _md5 #
Searching on web I find out that similar happened with PyMel but solutions from there do not work. I see that libssl and libcrypto are already in Maya lib folder, symlinked from support folder. How can I find out what exactly is missing here, or what is Maya (Bullet) compiled with so I can fix this?
I was wondering if there is a way to create a group of vertices, edges or faces and somehow create a reference point or attach them to some kind of locator so they can be referenced at a later point. I want to be able to select a group of edges, model them and then move on to another task within Maya and have some kind of reference point so I can go back to the original group and not have to select them individually every time I want to work on that group of edges, faces or vertices, is this possible? I will post a picture shortly to this post so you can see an example of a specific group of edges that I would like to set a reference point or locater for.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI’m a 3DS Max transfer. In 3DS Max there is an option to open an image file for modeling reference in a separate window within Max which always stays on top. This is NOT an image plane to model off of but an IMAGE FILE, a picture i can get the details from that don’t show in a drawing or plane. Currently I open images or groups of images(NOT SEQUENCES) in the default OS file viewer program. This is fine with a dual monitor setup, where I throw the reference images to the other screen. But what about when I’m on my laptop on the go or have no other monitor? Currently I’d have to open the same program, have it underneath MAYA and flip back and forth, which is a very big hassle over time. I’d like to be able to open a small, resizable window WITHIN maya and view the image file(or files!) there so I can move it around my workspace and glance over to it in an instant.
I still want my four panels or all of my panel space to work with. With it being resizable i can even shrink it down to get the gist in the upper right corner where no icons are even zoom in on parts with such a small window.
I have keyframed some ojects. I then set up a camera projection texture at keyframe 179
Is it possible to create a Texture Reference Object from keyframe 179 so this texture will stick to the geometry throughout the sequence?
I get a warning when I open another max scene on another machine here at work, it says:
"The MassFX authored in this file was created with a newer version of the plugins. Forward compatibility is not supported so things might not behave properly."
I am currently using PhysX for Max version: 2.7.1.0202.1800 and PhysX System Software 9.11.0621.
Third party plugins installed for Max being used in the scene are: Rayfire 1.57.10; Orbaz Particle Flow Box #2 ver. 1.07 and #3 ver. 1.53. I've gotten this warning in scenes saved from another PC, opened in another, and not even using any PhysX or PhysX capable plugins.
I can't seem to be able to stop the physx toolbar from opening on startup. I've tried deleting it and resaving the maxstartui file with no luck.
View 1 Replies View Relatedlately i am often experiencing a problem, where at the opening of scene, a message pops up saying "The 3ds Max file is made of old PhysX plugin. Do you want to convert to current version?" If i click yes, then max freezes, and even after 10 minutes remains frozen, so i have to terminate the process. If i click no, then this annoying message pops up everytime i open my file. I just cannot track down the reference to PhysX plugin in my scene. I can't find it. Is there any efficient way to search & destroy scene connection with PhysX plugin. It's like a plague slowly spreading across my scenes as i merge objects between them.

When i press play on physx toolbar everything is simulating fine, from start to end.Problem is when i want to bake physics simulation to keyframes.
3dsmax freezes and whole process is taking a lot of time, about 8 hours.
Simulation without baking is taking only 20min.
3dsmax file before baking process have 20MB and file after baking have 9GB
Is there other, more efficient way to bake physics dynamics or to simulate physics Maybe using particles with physics? particle toolbox #2 ?
I am trying to install the hotfix for 3dsmax 2012 and I keep getting this error. Could it be because I still have 2011 installed?

I installed 4 or 5 Microsft hotfixes in a row the other day. Since, photoshop 7 doesn't start up. I went to the control panel to uninstall the last new hotfixes, but each time I get the dialog box telling me that if I uninstall the KB840315 then Internet Explorer and Outlook Express might not work. For the moment I can work on a different computer, but not for long.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop on different disks. Still the same.
When trying to install the latest Hotfix for Frame Generator, I receive an error message, "
Internal Error 2902. ixfAssemblyCopy". This hotifx will correct the length change display in the Bill of Material. It seems this error may be cause by "Windows Installer". I have Inventor 2010 SP1 installed and have had no problem in installing other patches and hotfixes. What makes this one different?

I'm searching for quiet a while now, but I can't find information or an example to show an Icon (image) in a button on the shelf for my new tools. The addin should run on 64bit windows.
I found some example wich use vb6 tools, but I don't have these on my win64 and c#.
