When modeling something like a camera, is it necessary to have all the UVs of every separate object in the model avoid overlapping each other even if they're separate from each other? For instance: If the lens is a single separate object from the camera body, can its UVs encompass the entire...
I have a scene with a car. The car is being lit by a HDRI and a Directional Light. However, the tires are too deep in shadow. So I created a Spot Light to illuminate just the tires a bit and used the Light Link Editor to make sure only the tires are being affected. But when I produce a render the...
Hello! Does anyone know if there is a way to use the Transfer Attributes function to transfer a UV set to multiple duplicates at once? For example: I have modeled a railing that contains many wooden posts. I am now working on the UV sets and need to transfer the correctly laid out set to...
I am new to Maya and am working my way through the Intro to Maya 2013 lessons. I noticed a while back that my world-axis icon, the one shaped like a little sun, no longer appears in my scene. I used to see it over the Y axis manipulator whenever an object was selected. I must have somehow toggled...

Hello all, I am making the jump to Maya from another package, so I'm going through the Introduction to 2013 training right now. I'm on the video about Substance, and it seems like a cool tool, but I just can't get it to work as it does in the tutorial. When the tutor clicks on "Create Shading...
I'm trying to get started with the Introduction to maya 2013 and I'm having a few problems. I don't know if it's something to do with me using 2014 or something in the preferences, but when I load the scene for lesson 17 I get the reference images in the perspective view and there are copies of the...
I've never heard of "Bonus Tools" and happened upon it via the Internet. I went to Autodesk and downloaded it, but it's just 3 Mel scripts. The instructions for Mac are to open it using a .pkg installer. I have no clue what that is nor does Google -- apparently. The results yielded lots of coding....

Greetings, I have a bit of a problem that likely is quite silly and probably has a simple answer which I keep missing. I use Maya 2013 and Ive been going through "Introduction to Maya 2013" to revise the basics. I got to the part where various NURBS pieces are created and done so wihout...
I have a nurbs object and a polygon object. I created the polygon object by converting the nurbs to polygon using quads/count. Problem is, that the nurbs object is EXACTLY where I want it to be, and I've already frozen/reset the transformations. I'm wondering if anyone knows the script to perfectly...
