Maya Modeling :: How To Set Amount Of Scaling With Each Movement Of The Scrollbar
Sep 8, 2013
It only seems to affect the viewports in which I am locked to a camera angle - e.g. top, side, and front. I can zoom in perfectly fine, but as soon as I zoom out with the scroll bar it immediately puts the camera back to some sort of preset distance. This makes working on the model an incredibly annoying and disruptive task.
While also on the subject of cameras, my zooming in the viewport in which I am able to freely move about, the zoom in and out strength seems to have increased tenfold and is also causing problems. To put it into mathematical terms, the zoom in/out seems to be multiplicative rather than additive. This happened at about the same time the other thing started happening. Is there any way to set the amount of scaling with each movement of the scrollbar

I'm trying to complete and introductory tutorial in one of my Maya books titled 'Solar System'.
Basically, I've created the 9 planets (I've chose to include Pluto) and being the anal person I am, I would like to know how to set selected objects (in this case spheres) a defined distance apart, not at the pivot points, but from the far edge of the planet(s).
For example, I want each planet to be exactly x amount of 'units' apart from each other (from their edges); is this possible?

I'm attempting to follow instructions from a book to scale down part of a cylinder (as shown below). To quote the instructions directly:
[QUOTE]"Right-click the cylinder, and choose Face from the marking menu. Select the end faces, and scale them down a bit as in Figure 4.43 [ATTACHED]. This gives you the main part of the boiler."[/QUOTE]
I can't get it to scale down the way it is depicted in the photos. I tried selecting the faces and simply scaling, and I also tried selecting the faces and choosing "Extrude" first, and that did not work either.

Is there any other method for scaling an object in it's position using the vertices?
For example if you modeled wires or cables or bars and deleted the history but now you think they are too thick or too thin and you want to scale down without compromising their positions.
Look how I found 2 solutions, the cluster option takes more time.
I could not make a single cable on a floor thin out uniformly with the scale tool option. It did work with cluster on each bend but is a bit tedious.

Is there a way of scaling or transforming vertices uniformly without having to clean up some of the vertices afterwards.The closest attempt I have got is to switch the move tool to normals but this still requires a bit of straightening up afterwards.

I'm new to Maya 2011 and simply put, I need to know the basics of animating a camera around a scene, along a path, slowing down and speeding up, how to move the point of interest, that type of thing.

So I am trying to set up a mouth rig using joints. How would i go about smoothing my mesh, and still be able to go back and edit the joint weights without having to deal with a ridiculous amount of polygons?
[URL]....
This video kind of shows what i am looking for, the guy is editing a minecraft character rig he has. At around 4:30, you can see him editing the skin weights on a low-poly mesh, even though he tested adjusting the shape of the mouth when the geometry was in a smooth state, the video is timelapse so its very hard to tell what he did to achieve this. Note that he is also not redering in mental ray, so he is not just using smooth mesh preview.

I have a problem when I am modeling my character or rather the character from the animation academy. I have created an NURBS sphere and I want to adjust it to the arm, so I go to the component mode add some isosparms and then it happens!!! I can´t move any vertexes... but in the object mode I can move the hole object.

I have a problem. Randomly today, the usual controls for moving, scaling and rotating are gone, instead there are just red lines for the X, Y and Z axis. How can I get the other ones back?

When I select instanced geometry in the Hair and Fur modifier, the individual strands are appearing much too thin. I had to go back to the instanced model and non-uniform scale it to make it really fat to compensate for this, but this is not ideal. How do I get it to represent the instanced geometry at its correct scale? Also, how do I get the default hair scale to start out longer so that I don't hit the 100% limit. It looks like I will have to style the hair guides individually to get them to be longer.

I have a rig using human IK and I want to scale his eyes (they are just a white circle on a black background) using the set driven key in maya.
I have found 0 ways of doing this, though I am able to keyframe the texture scaling in the texture editor, but my client wants sliders only, am I able to bake the uv scaling on the timeline to an attribute?

What i have is a low polymodel that's quite small in scale, i'm modelling around a higher poly model, when i zoom in, the viewport clipping kicks in and parts of the model disappear, so i cant work on the small details. What i need to do is scale up both my low poly and high poly, work on the small details and scale it back down.
In maya there are multiple solutions to this; The first and most obvious would be to increase the near clip in the camera attributes.
The second would be to freeze transformations on the low and high poly, scale up the model, work on it and then scale it back to the value of 1.
The third would be to put both the low and high poly models into a group, scale up the group, work on the model, return the group back to its default size and ungrouping. Personally i would use this method to preserve the original scale values on the low and high poly models.
Is there a way of doing any of the above in 3ds max?

When scrolling through my images to add tags, there does not seem to be a built in scrollbar that I can click either up or down to scroll with. Instead, I use my mouse and sometimes it gets out of conrol and starts scrolling through a lot more images that I would like. I am using the latest LR on a Mac. Is there someway to get a clickable scrollbar?

I have a bunch of curves that is going to drive nhair. However I'd like to use the "soft modification tool" to do further adjustments to the curves. But I'd want to pin the root of the curves so it doesn't fly off the head when I use soft modification. Is there any way I can lock or pin the root CV of the curve? (its a cubic nurbs curve)

whats the best way to make scollbar timeline?
so when im scrolline to the right or left side , the timeline follows!
id tried some different way ,but i dont think its good.
1 way was. on my stage in scroll:
var animationWidth = 5000;
var stageWidth = sym.$("Stage").width();
var scrollPos = sym.$("Stage").scrollLeft();
var duration = sym.getDuration();
var percent = scrollPos / (animationWidth-stageWidth);
var time = duration * percent;
// Update timeline
sym.stop(time);
it works but is giving me double scroolbar and the second scrollbar is scrolling out of the "stage"!
2- way i tried was:
// insert code for scroll event here
var myCalc = e.currentTarget.scrollLeft/(e.currentTarget.scrollWidth-e.currentTarg et.clientWidth);
var pos = Math.round( myCalc * sym.getDuration() );
sym.stop(pos);
[Code]...
also working but same result as last.

[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.

My model loses lambert on only certain faces every so often. Might be related to clicking on camera or trying to extrude certain edges. I want to delete the camera but this happens to the model every time i touch the camera. I can't reapply the lambert by pressing 6 or assigning new material. if you know what's happening.

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?

Here is what I've tried so far in creating the pupil of the eyeball:
1. Right click - select isoparm - attempt to select.
2. Right click - select Surface Point - attempt to select.
3. Left clicking
4. Holding shift (and other keys) - attempt to select
5. Right clicking
6. Middle clicking
7. Marqueeing
When I right click - select surface point, I get something that looks like a selection, but it also has an isoparm dotted line.... when I attempt to DETACH I get an error.

I am attempting to import 3d models from a software called Daz studio into Maya. The models enter motionbuilder and 3ds Max with no problem. When I import them into Maya they come in as wireframe. I have been unable to take the wireframe off of the model. The file format I am using is FBX. wHEN I RENDER an image of the model i am able to see it in it's realistic form-but when i attempt to see it in the viewport it is wireframe.

Say I have a car engine that I created. to make it easier on myself I made it out of a bunch of separate pieces. then at the end I combined them into one. somewhere down the line I'll want to animate the pieces separately, but until then I dont want all that inner geometry rendering because it takes up unnecessary render time. is there a function in maya where I can delete all invisible mesh geometry? so then any faces inside the outermost shell will be deleted.

I'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.

I'm creating a face, but what I want is to have whatever happens on the right to happen on the left, instead of clicking each point to move the edges. I tried just cutting the face in half and duplicating, but I don't know how to flip second copy.
