Very nice and interesting. How long does it take to setup something like
that?
I guess you're working on The Killer Bean, Part 4?

I'm just starting to work in Houdini. I know very little about it. I did
this rig two days. But if I knew more about Houdini than now I would have
done it much faster. 2-3 hour I think... not more

I've just done a really simple timed test on Linux and found this also appears
to be affected. My imported model time went from 3mins down to 30secs when HQV
is switched off.
Cheers for the heads-up

Hi list,
I stumbled across a video online of a carpet unfurling using syflex mimic

One thing i just remembered, Dont know if its already been mentioned but
pass options Where you could set output path per aov, check/uncheck
which aov will be rendered place your environment, lens shaders and so
on. In maya its all packed into the render settings which is quite a pita.

Thank you for sharing Cesar,
There are some interesting improvements there, but it still looks like
you're dealing with Maya's goofy single-bone-at-a-time-mask-style
weighting. So while, better than Maya standard, it still adhere's pretty
hard to Maya's flawed core paradigm.
The other and bigger
Viktoras maitain also a GitHub account and a google group forum for the
tool. Maybe you want to contact him there. He is looking for help to
improve the tool.

And no this isn't the only place I'm asking this :-)
I'm getting into the Maya API and I need to port some of our tools over
from Soft. Google gives me all kinds of interesting links, but I'm
curious to know from people here who have done dev work for both Soft
and Maya (there's so many of

Hi
The compounds don't need to live anywhere specific. You can just drag them into
the tree.
I'm not sure about the red nodes though. If you dig into the compound, which
ones are red? It might be the Copy Materials node if you haven't defined a
Materials array attribute on the masters.

First check the SDK User Guide (not the reference), under Maya Python

Is there any way to change the unit size or unit scale of Alembic?

You can pass a string command to maya.utils.executeDeferred like this:
maya.utils.executeDeferred(allIWantToDoIsBuildAMenu('FFS'))
I guess that will run your code when Maya finally goes idle or something.
There may also be some trickery you can do that will force Maya to
evaluate the main menu
Thanks guys! As for my issue with adding the menu, I was able to get
some help over on the Maya-Python list.

Hi Tim,
Maya has a feature called Modules and it's a pretty clean way to isolate your
content and distribute it. It doesn't have the encapsulation of an Addon but
it is very similar in other ways.
Steps:
1) Set a custom MAYA_MODULE_PATH or use the default: C:\Program

It depends on the render time
I prefer rendering at slowest speed, and time ramp the comp.
Better motion resolution and more options, in case the
art director wants to change the timing.
But art directors never change their mind, do they? ;)

Dunno... I thought it could be useful.
You can try using the simulate particles advanced, which allows to animate
the time scale of the sim, but depending of how complex your setup is it
might not work. Higher rame rate and retime always work for me.

too.

Yes very good to know thanks!
yet I wonder if that would need a restart, or if it's something that
can be turned on off before saving?
Will try just that, cause HQV can actually be useful sometimes.

If you use custom realtime shaders, be aware that turning off High Quality
Viewport may induce a crash on next startup.
I tried flipping this switch the other day and almost every artist in

Think I discovered a problem.
If I explicitly create all data as local variables within the custom operator's

When I use the custom operator's UserData to store and retrieve data between
