Maya nParticles wont disappear when rewinding

Hi,

Maya nParticles wont disappear when I rewind them.
_there is no cache and no initial state
_both my start time is set to 1 ( in nParticle and in nSolver)
I’m using an nParticle to emit another nParticle system and also using the per-point emission rate.

Thanks

Transform handles in Gizmo/Group bug

I’ve done some searching and found some much older posts on this forum and others asking this same question but without any answers…

I hope someone has some answers now.

I’ve created a couple Gizmos in the past while that have had transforms nodes in them. I’ve given the user some control over certain things inside those transforms such as scale and rotation, but not translation. However when you export the Gizmo and even beforehand all the transform handles are visible on the viewer which I don’t want since I am using only one transform handle and don’t want to have the confusion of which one to use.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or what?!

I’ve gone through the manage knobs menu and made sure the only "transform matrix" (transform handle) available to the user is the one I want but I still get all the others. I’ve had this same problem with radials, crops, etc. but haven’t been concerned too much since the user wasn’t using any transform handle.

quicktime issue

Hi all…question.
When I render out a cg product shot for one of my clients in OSX Leopard, or windows 7, I render it QT animation 100% with alpha.
I set the BG in AE to white, as I don’t need to see the alpha in QT.
Upon upgrading to Snow Leopard at work, Whenever we render out the QTs
We can see the alpha (unmated) against black.
This happens when viewing in QT7 or QTX

Is there anyway to set a preference so that we see it the old way…..with a white BG.

Newbie! Boy, do I feel lost!

Hi All!
I am new to the compositing world. For 10 years I have been a graphic designer in print production, now I have a new job for the movies as a compositor. I am trying to learn Fusion and Nuke. But scared to learn them at the same time due to confusion. They are training me a little, but I need more info to research on my own. Ay pointers, thoughts, books, etc?

Thanks.
