Re: OT Maya: ncache hell

Xsi jobs are clearly drying up. Most of the softies studios in London are transitioning, and even hiring Maya people. So you can get a nice job or gig using Maya or Houdini ;) On 19 February 2015 at 09:21, Rob Chapman tekano@gmail.com wrote: Sure if you don't mind an under paid, over worked

RE: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

A more thorough explanation than I originally provided just to be clear……. If you have a primitive and a curve, and are attempting to Attach To Motion Path, Maya doesn’t care about selection order, the object will always be attached to path regardless order of selection. If you have two curves

RE: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

While I think some folks would be satisfied with this I’m not sure it can fix the larger problem. Some people will struggle with a pick session in massively huge scenes. These selection orders, parenting, constraining, attaching to path, etc, should all have a setting allowing user preference

Re: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

Maya is the veil that covers our real nature and the real nature of the world around us. Maya is fundamentally inscrutable: we don’t know why it exists and we don’t know when it began. What we do know is that, like any form of ignorance, maya ceases to exist at the dawn of knowledge, the

RE: ICE instances with sequence sprite particles - double side?

Not sure if this is it but isn’t the mib_twosided meant to be placed after the illumination shader and not before? So that you essentially have two distinct materials/w texture plugged into mib_twosided one for front and one for back. From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com

Re: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

It's true, Maya doesn't respond to cleverness. It's like trying to be sharply sarcastic with a slow witted, mean spirited six year old, he will just stare at you and kick you in the nuts. When I have to use Maya from the UI end of things I just assume I am confronting a malicious, starved and

RE: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

I think you've missed my point. Some of Maya's selection context is done in a normal or intuitive manner. Others are not. The point is that Maya's selection contexts are all over the place and the fact that some processes bear out multiple contexts only confuses matters. In the case of

RE: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

Maya selection order has always been like this, all over the app. But it’s even more confusing than you may already be aware. What if I select a sphere, then a curve second, and attach to motion path so the sphere constrains to the curve. But, if I select a sphere, then a curve second, and

Re: Maya thinks they're clever....and that's the problem

Well easy solution for this one at least ;) For the old maya folk keep everything like it is. For everyone who don't want to get brain fucked do it like this: If nothing is selected and you call the parent constraint as example a pick session starts with a tooltip what to select. Problem solved.
