Maya Modeling :: Importing Stuff With Same First File Name?
May 22, 2013When you import something, the imported file always has the other file name, like "filename:file"
Is there a way to import and not have it create that first file name?

Maya Modeling :: UV Mapping When Importing OBJ From Blender
Feb 1, 2013I am trying to UV-map a mesh by doing the following:
1) Panels > Saved Layouts > Persp/UV Texture Editor
2) Select object, RMB > Assign new material > Lambert
3) Attributes Editor > Common Material Attributes > Color > Map button > Checkered
When I do this with a default Maya sphere, it works just fine.
However when I attempt this with a mesh that I have imported from Blender, it no longer works (it turns white instead of checkered textured).

Mar 30, 2012I've created the german battleship Tirpitz. It has about 4.2 million polygons. When i save the file as an ASCII its about 1.2 GB and when I save it as a Bin its about 650 MB. I created the scene in 3DS Max where it has a file size of about 430 MB
My question is: Can I somehow shrink the size of the file without using a zip program.
Maya Modeling :: Assigning Texture (JPG File) To Object
Apr 25, 2011I'm trying to assign a jpg file to an eyeball and the file (containing the retina of the eyeball) comes out enlarged, even though it is not supposed to.
I'm using Blinn Material and hypershade to bring that texture to the eyeball, but every single time I try it, it comes out enlarged (see image attached). I've made sure I click on the Planar Mapping key before I try to copy the image onto my eyeball. I've also tried modifying the size of the image on Photoshop but not luck. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7.

Maya Modeling :: How To Open Image File For Reference In Separate Window
Nov 3, 2012I’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.

View 1 Replies View Related3ds Max Modeling :: Importing Set Of IGS Files
Jan 22, 2013I am have been importing a set of igs files and one of them is not displaying in my viewport. It's the lagest file size of the bunch at 285Mb, I believe all of the files were created in Solidworks.
The process I use is: create a new blank file in Max and import the file, but when the import is completed I just get a single line displayed in the viewport(see attachment).
I have left the import running overnight and still get the same result. I also get the same result if I import in a previous version of 3DS Max 2011. I downloaded a free CAD application to see if that could open the file and it gave me a decent wire frame image of the product I was hoping for, but I could not re-save it (benefits of free software!!).
I am using 3DS Max 2013, Win 7 Pro SP1, 64-bit, 2x Intel Xeon 2.93GHz processors, 24Gb Ram with a Quadro 4000 graphics card, running Version 310.90 drivers (I have not 'manged' 3D settings though). So I am guessing this is a graphics display issue due to the size of the iges file, but any way of optimising my viewport or some free software that can convert an iges file into something more managable for Max to import?
Unfortunately I am unable to upload the iges file or an image of the wireframe model from the other free application due to the sensitivity of the content.

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:

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.

Feb 20, 2011I 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMaya Modeling :: Shading And Polygons
Nov 30, 2011I'm having trouble with shading objects I imported from SolidWorks using SimLab's plug-in. My problem is two-fold:
First, the polygons appear to have bizarre twists and bends in them, but there are no corresponding edges to create these deformations. Also, Maya thinks all the faces are planar. I tried cleaning up the objects and it yielded no results. These weird twists appear in both the work space and when rendered. I have tried deleting overlapping edges, but it didn't work.
Second, when I try to apply a bump map to my objects, they don't work. I tried using a noise and a fractal bump map and neither appear on the rendered image. However, the Brownian bump map works. I have tried creating other objects in the scene and the noise and fractal bump maps work just fine on those, just not on my imported geometry. I figured out a brute-force method to make the bump maps work - I delete a polygon and use the append tool to create a new polygon - but I have over 110,000 polygons on this thing.
I'm working on an 8-core MacPro running Windows 7 64bit with 32 GB RAM and two GeForce 9500GT video cards.
