Hey guys, I agree. We don't even have to go as far as animation/weight mapping etc. Look at something as basic as modeling, I can't be quick and  efficient with that petty toolset Maya has to offer, no matter what. Uv is a nightmare, everything is deprecated, badly implemented, unstable and

@Pedro Santos, most of us stand with that choice: not taking Maya / being reject by studio. The day EOL was announced for SI, I decided that -if I was to work for Maya- it would only be as an animator. Guess what? Even the timeline has this clumsy workflow to make it scrub/play and, to do it

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

To be fair, that was the case in Softimage too occasionally. E.g. changing a color swatch resulted in 3 "Set Value" commands issued, one for each color component, which had to be undone separately. On 18.04.2018 11:24, Artur W wrote: > Ctrl+Z doesn't work as you might expect in Maya. > It seems

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Ctrl+Z doesn't work as you might expect in Maya. It seems that 1 click or 1 option change may produce series of commands and Ctrl+Z reverts only the last one, so in consequence you may have to do it several times to go back where you need. Artur 2018-04-18 11:10 GMT+02:00 David Saber

Replicating this as described I got the results I think you were expecting. I've been unable to repeat the anomoly. And did the "wave" occur on the Z & X axis or just Z or X? I'd also be curious if you had any kind of parenting relationship that might have affected the smooth direction. But I

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Maya is full of surprises. Here's my story today: I wanted to create a wavy surface so I got a polygon grid and selected every second points and translated in Y. Then I applied a smooth. The result was bizarre: only the edges were wavy shaped, the rest was flat. I was not happy so I undid the

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

This thread is hilarious. I just wanted to say that if you are having really bad scene load times in Maya and it's not file I/O (perhaps from references) then it's often long init times for certain nodes. Thinking of the wrap deformer specifically. Wraps init on scene load and they can be terrible

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Ok I have to agree with you Andy, I also had many crashes with SI.. no dcc is 100% reliable, that is the nature of software. For me the big difference is: I knew where to expect a crash in softmage.. like “move operators up and down the stack=danger.. have a boolean going on? Danger times

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

To be totally honest, that’s how I had to deal with Softimage/Arnold. I would sometimes only open a scene and have it crash for no reason. I could never say Softimage had been a robust experience. After moving to Houdini, it took almost two years to get rid of my fear to click the wrong thing

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

What I gathered about Maya so far is that every function in one way or another leads to a hotkey Alt+F4 (the fast option). Also, when it crashes, I noticed it is faster to kill the process then wait for all the notifiers to appear (your maya crashed window x 9000). A tip for you'all. Artur

Protip: have 2 maya sessions opened -> Begin working on one of them -> wait for the crash -> kill on task manager -> fire up another session -> continue work on already opened session while new one loads -> no wait 3 minutes for maya to start -> happyness (?) This is how I work in maya EVERYTIME.

It always been like that. I think my first responsibility in 3d world could be described as ''hypershade boy'' :), it was a Maya class where I had to start earlier, to launch Mayas and Hypershade windows, so other students would be able to use them before end of class (or something like that).
