I had hoped to find out about what i am doing wrong with the arm of the roboter i have modelled before and learned a lot of things i didn't know, but not not what i wanted to. [b]My problem:[/b] There is the parent node (Base) and the child nodes (arm1, arm2, ...). When one of the children (arm1) is picked up all the lower parts in the hierarchy (arm2,arm3) moves, rotates... with their parent (arm1). But if Base is selected and rotated, the child nodes will stay where they are. I tried to set and unset the "inherit transform" box, but this seem to take no effect. Everything behaved well until i added the point constraint, although i did it as told in the tutorial. [i]Maya Help >> Learning Resources > Tutorials > Getting Started with Maya > Animation > Lesson 5: Inverse kinematics[/i] What am I doing wrong or where can i change the Settings that set the hindrance? I'll be thankfull for your help :) 2012-04-15T06:03:50+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/tool-panel-in-maya-2010-disappeared/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/tool-panel-in-maya-2010-disappeared/page-last/#When:09:29:25Z hey i recently install maya 2010 and in somehow i lost the panel of move and rotate and the section where i choose render or animation etc ... i appreciate your Help thnx 2012-02-07T09:29:25+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/reset-preferences-on-the-menu-bars/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/reset-preferences-on-the-menu-bars/page-last/#When:09:35:37Z How might I go about resetting preferences on the menu bars?

I had no problem with that since I worked with windows, but now that I switched to mac I´m not able to find it. I can see, before Maya´s crashing, on the command line that Maya is writing somewhere the file (date.myname.ma). But even if i search with Spotlight nothing happen, seems that the file doesn´t even exist. Does anyone know where? Thanks in advance! 2011-12-01T15:12:38+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/heavy-scene-making-maya-slow/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/heavy-scene-making-maya-slow/page-last/#When:05:19:31Z Hi There, Basically i have a scene that has grown from a simple one to a complex one.. It started with 1 model animating, but i have added more models and put the whole thing inside a "factory floor" i designed. (Huge Cube, and textures on the walls and floor) Now the Project is really heavy i guess because everything is slow and the Maxwell viewer wont even load fully and then crashes maya... Is there a way i can " freeze " some of the parts... I will need to animate all the things inside and i was not sure if i delete the History that i will have full functionality of the models. Any tips will be great.. Thanx J 2011-11-09T05:19:31+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/custom-locator-node-questions---is-this-possible/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/custom-locator-node-questions---is-this-possible/page-last/#When:04:17:13Z I have a few things I wish to do and I am not entirely sure whether they are at all possible - I'd like some guidance as to whether I should give up trying. I have a few custom locator nodes ( loaded from my own mll ). The things I want to do are basically these, If the user uses the scale tool to change say, the x scale, I want to copy this value to each of the other scales i.e. Y and Z - thus enforcing uniform scaling. I want this since one of my locators is sphere shaped but it must only be scaled uniformily. I also have a locator shaped like a capsule - for this one when the user scales in Y on the transform node, I want to intercept this and change the drawing of the locator node so that it gets longer but does not stretch i.e. I want the middle section of the capsule to grow but the hemi-spheres at either end to remain unchanged. To break it down, if the user selects the transform node of the capsule locator and scales in Y, I want this Y value to be picked up inside the draw call of the locator and then use it to extend the length of the capulse. Prefereably I would like to do all these things and some more inside my c++ code but i am happy not to if needs must. Thanks in advance for the advice, Kil. 2011-10-26T04:17:13+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/loading-rigged-animation---problem-on-mac-os-lion/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/loading-rigged-animation---problem-on-mac-os-lion/page-last/#When:03:31:19Z I've got this problem every time I load my rigged character file from a different computer and onto my Mac.

Am not talking about AWSD keys to move the camera or UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT or any other short cuts, am talking about camera navigation, click alt MMB to move around but i want it to rotate around the object like max did. Is this possible ? I tried but i cannot edit default bindings :( Thanks in advance 2011-09-27T19:09:46+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/how-to-build-a-convex-hull/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/autodesk-maya-2010/how-to-build-a-convex-hull/page-last/#When:00:41:30Z Hello!
