Maya Modeling :: Can't Turn Off Display Normal

Feb 27, 2014

Maya 2014 SP4 OSX.I have just spent the morning creating a new model, and I needed to check the normals for a few faces that I had to delete and recreate,the normals are now showing all the time and I cannot switch them off, I have check preferences and they are deselected there, but what ever I do they do not go away!
 
Also there is no tick to say that they are on or off?  Should there be, I am sure on the system at work we have a tick?

Maya Modeling :: Tool Similar To Max Edge Turn?

Dec 23, 2013

I know that you can spin edges (that are visible).  And I know that you can view "face triangles" (to view otherwise "invisible" edges.)But I cannot seem to select these "face triangle edges" or manipulate them.  I can create a physical edge, yes, and place it where I want, but if I remove the edge, then maya seems to revert to its own random placement for the "invisible face edge."  So, I feel like I have no control over the bend of non-planer quads. 
 
In max, when you are working with edges, there is a tool called "turn."  When selected, it reveals all hidden edges, and allows you to spin them to the angle you want.  Turn off the tool and the selected edge position remains.Can this be done in Maya?  And even if you cannot do this, is there any way to control the position of "invisible edges" in maya?  Something like a "spin quad?"

Maya Modeling :: UV Editor Isn't Changing Texture Display

Jan 4, 2014

No matter what changes I make in the UV texture editor, the texture on my model doesn't change (with the colors I put on it until I finalized the UV map, it would be pretty obvious). But nothing happens. Move UVs, Rotate UVs, Scale UVs--does not change the texture on the model.

 Am I missing something? This all used to work just fine. Is it a setting change? Is this something caused by brining a Maya2010 file into 2011?

Photoshop :: Making Screenshots From Normal Display Look Acceptably Sharp On Retina Display

Jan 28, 2013

I am currently writing a book that will initially be sold as a PDF but may later go on the i Book store, however I don't have a Retina display myself and what is the best practice for making screenshots from a normal display look acceptably sharp on a Retina display?
 
I have Photoshop along with the iOS simulator that shows how the iPad or iPhone will look if they can be used in some way but I mainly need to get menu items and dialogue boxes from various applications in OS X and Windows looking good on Retina screens. I really don't want to pay out for a Retina display purely for this task that would only take a few hours of work at most.

3ds Max Modeling :: Combining Normal Maps

Sep 7, 2012

Im having a bit of an issue combining normal maps. Basically I am taking 3 normal maps that were rendered from a normal bake from three separate portions of the model... Using Photoshop i duplicate the layers over into a single file to avoid any overlapping or offsetting the maps, when previewing it inside MAX it does something crazy instead.

The maps display completely wrong even through the resolution and ratios are exactly the same. I have lined them up int the UV editor to verify. Do alpha maps in fact play a role im properly displaying combined maps (separating them from each other in a single file)? If this is the case, then how to i properly copy the alphas over into a single file using Photoshop?

I have some architectural scenes that i'm bringing into max from Softimage. I'm using FBX. When I export, the instances come across as dummy objects, so it appears that instances are not support with FBX.

When i'm in Max, is there any way for me to tell Max that these dummies should be instances of another object?

Maya :: Turn Off Two-Sided Lighting By Default

Feb 28, 2013

I'm looking for any way to set the startup state of the viewport windows so that two sided lighting is turned off whenever i start Maya. I work in game assets creation a lot so having it turned off allows me to make sure my normals are facing the right way. I usually just turn it off manually but every now and then i forget and it comes back to bite me.

In maya 2011 I used the script found here [URL]

which is as follows :

Append the lines below to file "initHUDScripts.mel", preferably in a local copy to your maya scripts directory. Path is, in Windows: C:Users\Documentsmaya\scripts

// CUSTOM SETTINGS BELOW
// Set Two-sided lighting to off in default 4 views.
modelEditor -e -twoSidedLighting false modelPanel1;

[Code]....

but I can't seem to find the "initHUDScripts.mel" in the 2013 file structure. Alternate script I can implement or know where I should append this existing script in the 2013 files? the script still works in 2013, I just dont know where to put it to load at startup

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Turn Off Display Of PI Symbols For Small Angles Along Alignment

Feb 8, 2013

I have an alignment for a proposed steel gas pipeline that is several thousand feet long.  The alignment is stationed and set to display PI symbols (triangle) at each change of direction.  However, steel pipe is relatively flexible so small changes in direction (a few degrees) are irrelevant and I do not want the PI symbols to display in those areas.  Is there a setting (a tolerance so-to-speak) in Civil 3D to edit when PI symbols are displayed for an alignment.  For example, I want to set it such that PI symbols are not displayed unless the alignment changes direction by more than 10 degrees at a given PI.

Maya Modeling :: Cut Out A Piece Of A Polygon

Aug 21, 2012

[URL]........

This is my model. Simple.

Now the only thing I want to do is to cut out this:

[URL]........

I used the Extrude tool just for visualization. The problem is, working with booleans apparently doesn't work for such objects, it works for freshly created clean polygons, but not for this one, when I try to use "Boolean difference" both objects disappear.

Extruding doesn't work because the faces are still there and I cannot delete them for whatever reason:

[URL].........

My cursor is pointing on the little face, but both are being highlighted. Making a hole through the the "Make a hole" function doesn't work because it only deletes faces as it seems.

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?
