Maya Animation :: Animating Low Poly Instead Of High Poly Model?
Mar 18, 2012My model is ready for the rigging. But my model is a little heavy in poly-count. I can rig it now but at the time of animation i know it will be a problem while animating it. It will lag while moving its controls. I have seen people animating with low mesh and while rendering they use high mesh. Do, i have to create a low poly version of my model?. If yes, Then i have to paint weight twice. low poly one and the high poly one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMaya Modeling :: Bridging Two Meshes
Sep 15, 2010I'm new to Maya and am trying to bridge two meshes in the first modeling exercise (to make a helmet). The instructions said to select Select > Select Border Edge Tool and then to select the 5 border Edges on the original polygon and then the 5 on the newly created bottom part and then I am to select Edit Mesh > Bridge and to set the division to 0 and then to check Bridge. I did all of these steps but then this "// Error: Invalid selection : polyBridgeEdge requires equal number of border edges to be selected for source and target selection." appears. I've tried choosing different numbers on each side to see if that is some how the error.

Jan 12, 2012Do 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.

Oct 30, 2013Is it better to texture multiple meshes of a same object as opposed to unwapping and texturing just one mesh and then duplicating the object over and over?
Fox example, I'm working in Maya and I'm modeling a grocery store. And let's say I'm about to texture an isle with bagged snack chips. Do I unwrap every UV from every bag of chips and texture them individually or is it better to unwrap and texture just one bag (mesh) of chips and then duplicate object multuple times to get the whole isle of chips.
Maya Modeling :: How To Combine Two Meshes With Different Colors
Jul 23, 2011why is it that anytime i try to combine to meshes (which were originally one mesh to start with) with different colors on them i loose the colors on both after the combine operations is invoked? It's pretty much a door with one color on one side and another on the other side. I extracted the face then painted it a white color after painted the other side a dark color. When i position them back to combine the colors disappear and goes back to that default grayish color.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMaya Modeling :: 3D Animated Landscapes Built From Vector Graphics?
Aug 29, 2011I’m new to this forum and to 3D animation. I am a long time user of Corel draw and Final Cut Studio.
I am preparing for a video project that will involve a lot of 3d animation and am thinking of using Maya (on a Mac).
Can I use Corel draw or Adobe illustrator to create basic models for importing into Maya?
In particular, I have created some very complex 2d contour maps, the specific geography of which is important and must not change, each contour height has been given its own drawing layer so that I can easily manipulate the maps. Can I import and then create 3d animated landscapes from this type of graphic in Maya ?

Oct 29, 2012When trying to create a PDF file of any drawing with the inbuilt DWG to PDF AutoDesk plotter the software always crashes out with a FATL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 21247a28h. Not sure if this is a coincidence but this has only just started happening since updating my Adobe Reader software to the very latest XI version just released.
I have sent several error reports to Autodesk but can't see any in the support section. I have tried un-installing the Acrobat Reader software and AutoCAD still crashes out. Creating PDF's from external printers like PDF24 have no issues but prefer the inbuilt printer as it keeps the vector data and layering info in the resultant PDF.

Oct 29, 2012Just got the upgrade from 2012 to 2013 AutoCAD. When I opened the file from 2012 to 2013 for editing, my sub-xref file become "Unreferenced". The main Xref is loaded and fine. I tried to reload it but it doesn't work, and only its text path that are shown in there. It seems that the sub-xref file is in the right path when I trying to verify it location. So, what I did was use my old 2010 Autocad to finish my task which work fine. Why my sub-xref is in "unreference"condition using 2013 AutoCAD.?

But it'll be a painful process to line up a polygon to every single curve I have.

Apr 17, 2012We've had to re-image machines, so it's been a few days of trouble shooting new issues with re-install of Maya2012.
Installed SP2 for Vista yesterday in hopes some of the modeling issues would be fixed. But still having two issues.
The worst is each time I try to cut faces my faces in sections of model disappear. The face is there and it's closed. If I re-launch Maya then the display is correct.
The last but less of a nuisance at this time is a white display during view port changes. Didn't have this issue before. But all of our machines here on the team are doing the same thing.
