RE: Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

Thanks Stephen, Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, windows uninstaller doesn’t even recognise Maya existence. Let me try Eric’s suggestions, I think it’s to do with the registry keys – and Revo may be able to help. Cheers Sofronis (Saf) Efstathiou Principal Lecturer and BFX

Re: Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

Recently had a similar issue with the trial. Use Revo Uninstaller if you can. There is a mode that will search out things in the registry as well. Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 8:19 AM, Sofronis Efstathiou <

Re: Redshift users?

Hi all ! Here at GobiStudio we recently switched to 5 RedShift licences. Before we used a lot Octane. Octane is no more supported in Softimage, and the last plugin still have a lot of bugs. And resdshift is really faster. ++ 2016-01-20 12:55 GMT+01:00 Arvid Björn : > We

Re: Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

You could probably figure it out with Process Monitor. Run Process Monitor when you try to install Maya 2016. As soon as the installer says that Maya is already installed, then stop Process Monitor. That should show what registry entries or files the installer is looking at. On Mon, Jan 25, 2016

Re: Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

Look for something like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Autodesk Maya 2016 If you go into Control Panel > Uninstall or change a program, and try to uninstall Maya 2016, do you get something like this? [image: Inline image 1] That would allow you remove

Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

Hi, Hopefully someone can help. I just uninstalled Maya 2016, with the intention to reinstall it this afternoon (this occurred after installing Maya 2016 SP5 which completely destroyed it). Anyway - in a Maya's magical way - although Maya 2016 is no longer in the Control Panel in the Program

"Yes, honey, I'm still at work. The render crashed. Yes, I checked the filepaths. I'm about to check if the texture's gone corrupt." It makes those conversations far simpler to have, without the layer of interpreting :) Unfortunately, we're both silly and keep getting work at the same places, so

Re: Middle Click in Maya

Over the weekend my wife was asking me for the equivalent of Walk Along Mesh UV mapping. I couldn't give her much of an answer, save for messing about with Unfold. Low and behold, today we moved over to Maya 2016 and Contour Stretch mapping was highlighted as a new feature. I was trying to find

RE: Maya 2016 still thinks its installed -

Thanks Stephen, And thanks Eric, Revo seems to have done the job. Its cleared the registry, allowed Maya to be installed and I think removed a previous problem where Maya becoming randomly irresponsive for a few seconds when working in the viewport. Let’s hope it continues to work. I’ll maybe

Middle Click in Maya

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that you can now middle-click repeat in Maya 2016? http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2016/ENU//?guid=GUID-D90A2BDB-FD05-4528-8A95-C33A02D15129 Found this today

Re: Middle Click in Maya

Ya, there is a video they posted going over the new UI stuffs in 2016. They even extended it to work with combo boxes/drop downs. A nice logical extension of an already great feature. On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 10:09 AM, Ponthieux, Joseph G. (LARC-E1A)[LITES II] wrote: >

Re: So.. Maya rigging is still a thing...

It is, only needs extra refining but I would suggest you look at it as more than just a curiosity, it has become surprisingly usable and although it is not perfect (certainly less painful than Maya anyway) it is something I would love to test properly again. On 22 January 2016 at 12:49, Ognjen

Clouds & cloudscape solutions

Hi Folks, Wondered if I could pick some brains. I may kicking off a cloud job. Some cloudscapes and animated forms within them. Cumulus/Fluffy sort of look. Obviously hoping for a decent interaction/render speed trade-off. The last time I did clouds it was a few years ago using the BA Shader

Re: So.. Maya rigging is still a thing...

Does nothing else have this functionality? it seems like such a no brainner... Maya does. When you are in weight painting mode, just hover your mouse cursor over a bone that is a valid deformer to the envelope you are working on, right-click and choose "Select Influence" from the radial

RE: So.. Maya rigging is still a thing...

Selecting bones in the viewport to weight paint. Good old trueSpace does this. It’s rigging is awefuly buggy, and it’s weighting also weird sometimes – but you can weight paint directly by selecting a bone. I thought this was default for all software (I’ve only really used SI and trueSpace,

Yes weight painting is bullshit for precise work, however if you don't have much time and you need it to be quick and can afford it being dirty... It's been a while, so i don't remember, but is Soft the only package with a workflow to select the bone you want to weight to directly in the
