Hasta La Motion!

I need my final models in .3ds format and I have all my models in maya.

I tried exporting as obj/fbx and then importing it into 3dsmax and exporting as .3ds

But I ran into few issues.

1.All the smoothness is gone and when I try to smooth it do sent work properly.

2.In .3ds file some of the vertices are not weld together but they are perfectly fine in maya and in max.

Please help me convert my maya models in .3ds

Thanks

Hi guys!

Does anyone know how to disable post/pre render mel statements when single image is rendered via render view.

I need them to be executed only during the batch render.

Or are there any variables that can tell python/mel scripts that they are executed in context of batch render process or command line render process.

Thanks!

guys i’m still beginner so i think i’m missing something here,
to get it clearer i’ll give a simple example
i have a robot model that i’m rigging
i go to the side view to rig the right hand , right leg etc…
but what if i want to rig something on the left side ?
how to get the side view from the left not from the right ? :fingerscr

i hope my question makes sense

thanks in advance !

I need to "grow" a logo out of the palm of an opening hand. Logo is built and tracking done. I’m going to use a particle attached to the curve of the outside edge of the logo and as it travels from the bottom of the geometry to the top, I would like to have the logo itself appear as though it was formed from the very same electricity (particle trail). An example (albeit way overblown) would be the Tron lightcycle or the objects green lantern creates from what visually appears to be energy.

In AE or NUKE I could do this with a simple mask animation. I’d like to learn how to do this in Maya though. I can’t imagine there’s not a tool to achieve something like this? I have searched relentlessly but as you can imagine search terms for something like this continuously bring up "selection masks" which is not what I’m trying to do.

Thank you for any feedback!

I have quite a few feed backs from this demo and I was told that the school at the last half of the demo has some bad texturing, I could easily go back and fix it but I have two other projects that I am going to add to this so I thought It would be better to just cut a section or two out completely, but I don’t want to edit out the entire school just yet.:bomb:

I need some outside help and opinions
