Select random faces in Maya with Python script with a percentage slider that can speed up your workflow. This Python script has been generated with chatGPT by a few prompts. In a previus article we explored how to select random faces in Maya with a mel script. That script eventhough
The right way to set keys in Maya, will make your life much easier later on. Either in the refine timing stage/interpolation or if you plan to key bake simulation in order to export to a game engine such as Unity. Settings keys in Maya is fundamental skill for animators.
Deleting unecessary keyframes in Maya after key baking simulation, is a great way to reduce file size from your final FBX(s) format. Which is very important when you are dealing with a lot of animation clips, performance-oriented. And that’s the right approach we have to take, if we were careless
Maya crashing while rendering can be a very disturbing matter, especially when it’s happens a lot. The easier way to fix it is by lowering the CPU cores of your machine that Maya uses during the render process. Most of the time it will work. I know it’s probably not
Creating a custom MEL script in Maya can save a lot of time. Especially when we are running the same commands over and over again. In this article, we will demonstrate a very simple concept of using three common commands and how we can benefit by creating a custom MEL
Having the same UV pixel density across multiple objects in Maya is crucial to the texturing process. One way to do that is by using the Texel Density Tool in UV Editor. Your 3D model must have the same UV pixel density, in order to avoid quality issues on textures.
Using an ambient occlusion generator in Substance Painter, we need to first ensure that we bake the mesh map. If we don’t do that we can’t really use the AO generator properly or at all, to be honest. So in this short article, we will only cover that important step.
Creating an FK-IK switch arm in Maya with the Node Editor is not too complicated approach you can implement for your next character rigging project. In this article, we will demonstrate the FK-IK switch setup for the arm of our character. But make no mistake, the same principle can be
Delete specific node in Maya can be really handy in case we need it. We can do it in three different ways I can think of. In order to delete a specific node from the history of an object in Maya, we must have the construction history on, which is
Fix the green shader issue in the reference scene in Maya, could be resolved pretty easily if we use the node editor, and make one connection. Basically what we need to do, in order to fix the green shader issue is to reconnect the shape-deformed node with the shader that
Select random faces in Maya is a very handy mel script tool. Since Maya doesn’t have any built-in tools for that purpose. This mel script is going to save us a lot of time. The Author of the script is Byterunner. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any other information, or links
