I just transferred my Maya software over to a new Mac, It works normally except that the channel box shows nothing when an object is selected. If I click in the blank fields the values show up, but I cannot see the descriptions of what those values are for. I have tried the following: Dumping the prefs, reinstalling, contacting support (since it is a student license the y do not provide support, but did suggest the prefs idea), followed by deleting all Maya files and folders, library prefs and reinstalling from scratch. the result is the same. I am running Mac Snow leopard, which is new to me.
I've come across a weird problem. Whenever I select a channel in the channel box ("Translate X" for example) it is immediately unselected. This prevents me from selecting a channel and middle-mouse dragging in the viewport to adjust its value.
This only happens in particular scenes. But if I start a fresh scene, I do not have the problem. Is there a button somewhere that I need to deactivate to fix this?
I've been using Maya's HumanIK function for my model for a game I'm building. I began doing some animation, but I'm running into multiple problems. I've noticed for a while now that moving the IK handles with values from the channel box is a complete waste of time. It is unresponsive to the Channel Box numbers and how I can make it so it is. The only way to make the IKs move is to move or rotate them directly on the model with the basic manipulator tools.
Not only that, but did the animation, which for now is an idle breathing stance, between frames the animation moves on its own, beyond the scope of what I told it to move, even when its between two of the exact same frames. I haven't animated in a while, so I can't remember how I used to fix this, but since I know a bit more about animation now, I dabbled into my Graph Editor. Moving the curves have no effect on the animation either and I can't change the tangents nor use the smoothing handles.
The closest thing I found was something saying to change my Animation Settings in the Preferences to make the HIK curve default to Independent Euler-Angle curves, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I am doing lighting now. Everything is fine except a scene.When I open the scene,it's blank in the preview window but everything is here,just like the first picture.When I open again(didn't close the maya window),it's better but still blank in the default quality rendering,like the second picture.Until I switch to the high quality rendering mode,it just display something like the third picture.
Just installed Extension for Maya 2014 SP 1.  When I open a fresh scene, load MR and go to Render Settings my Quality, Indirect Lighting and Options tabs are not working. Quality is minimised to the top left and the others are blank.  I've tried the following :  - Uninstalling Mental Core - deleting all prefs, scripts etc - deleteUI unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow; buildNewSceneUI;  Attached are what I see in each of the problem tabs and below is all output from the script editor as I open Maya, load mental ray and then click on each tab in turn.  file -f -new; // Warning: file: D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/startup/rememberViewportSettings.mel line 43: Active stereo does not work with Aero enabled.

I'm having a problem with being able to select inputs in the Chanel box / layer editor ! I am using maya 2012 on a MacBook pro , for instance if I create a cylinder ,when it's created I bring up the Chanel box , I have : pCylinder1 then the boxes for adjusting the xyz axis etc , then shapes / pCylinderShape1 , and that's it ! I have no inputs tab to adjust sub-divisions etc ?? Have I not got something selected
Whenever I attempt to marquee select (click-hold and drag a box) in Viewport 2.0, the viewport becomes a blank white screen and instead of drawing a box my mouse draws a single thick line. When I release the mouse, the viewport will not return to normal until I move the camera. It actually does perform the selection that I would expect. However, not being able to see what I'm doing is a bit of a pain sometimes.
The irony is that it actually works fine in default and high quality modes, but I'm not able to use those because the transparency sorting is really wonky and doesn't let me see what I'm trying to work on from the angles that I need. Only Viewport 2.0 solves that problem.
I am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.
The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.
I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.
On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.
Just made sure updates for the video card and all the hardware were current and still getting this problem where when I go to adjust a channel of video a random frame from the below channel will insert itself into the clip that I just moved as if it was married into the source footage.

How can I get the channel subassembly to attach to the assembly insertion point at the channel flowline marker? Â I need the flowline to follow my profile elevations.
What is the more usual image mode? I think my files have been 8 bits per channel for many years. I was having a lot of trouble with Photoshop slowing down dramatically on several large files I created, and I noticed I had made them in 16 bit mode. Would this require more RAM?
we are making a soft in Visual C++ .NET,and my job like a desinger is to create some pictures which contain Alpha Channel.Thise pictures will be links,but when gues take thise pictures to make its links in Visual C++ .NET the Alpha Cannel what I made disappeared.
I clicked on the load select for part of image and I cut it and put it in the channel and plus pasted in the layer palette. I see the image in the layer pallette now and see the it in the channel as well. Is it correct?
I've another damaged picture and looked at the channel saw the red is better so clicked all from selection and copied it and scrolled down and pasted into in the green channel. Is it correct?
I've been colouring an image which was black and white, consiting mainly of black lines. I've made a special channel for the lines and coloured it all in the RGBs chanel, and now when I want to save this as an jpg or at all, the lines vanish. The chanel and the original pic is still there but the lines just won't apply to the rest of the art so they coul be seen, only when I click on the visible or not button at the channel. I've tried to merge it but it still only gives me the colours of the pic without the lines..
I have created two masks with channels to use on an image. Now I want to combine the two channel masks into one to use. I made a new layer in channels of the composite masks which gave me an Alpha channel. The Alpha channels show the solid black paint lines where I filled in the selection voids. These solid lines affected the adjustment layers so I ended up doing some erasing at 50%. Not the shortest workflow direction. How can I combine two channel masks (selections) into a common selection and save as a new Channel?
I created an alpha channel with marquee tool on a colored backgound, by using "select > save selection", the alpha channel appeared at the bottom of the channel palette. I know the white part should represents transparency and the black part is opaque. But when I import this into the Adobe premiere6.5, the thing is reversed, I have to use "alpha channel" plus "reverse" option to get what I want - see through the "white" part. I heard there is an option in the photoshop with which you can define whether you want "white" is transparent,black is opaque or vice versa,
I have an image that I want to have an alpha channel even though it isn't used at all. Even if I save the image with transparency flag in "Save for web" (as PNG), Photoshop doesn't include the alpha channel with image because it's not been used. Is there a way I can overcome this (other than adding a single transparent pixel to image or using another program)?
I'm running CS2 on an HP Pavilion with an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz 3 G RAM on a 32 bit Vista OS. Last time I used this function it was fine but now, every time I try to create a new channel it's black, not transparent, not white but black. Whatever's pasted into it looks like an X-Ray. What have I turned on?
I having a problem with creating a new channel in that when it is created the image becomes white instead of black. I need it to be black to create the red selection, when I click the RGB channel visablitiy " eye".
I have tried changing the colour in the new channel dialog box and it doesnt make any difference. Still get white. Also have tried changing the white to black by pressing control backspace to fill with black but then I still cannot get the red selection . I Would really apprieate some help with this. I am doing this tutorial and I am stuck at the moment.
I have a 24bit PNG image to be used as a texture in my little game. I want to blend this texture with other colors which require it to have an extra alpha channel. I did some search online and tried some methods including add another layer and add transparency to the image, but neither worked(after I exported the image to png and reopened it, it still only contains 24 bits for every pixel).
When I try to save a selection to other than a New channel, the Save Selection box only allows saving to a New channel and grays out the other options. How do you save a selection to another channel and/or activate the other options?Â
