Hello,

I've scrubbed through the Forum and couldn't find a technique for making Textures visible in the Maya Viewport. Can I assemble nodes onto a shader to make the texture display in the Maya Viewport 2.0?

Ah, yes. Okay I've located them now. Thank you.

Hello,

I've read in some of the documentation that you should be able to render the Image Plane of the Viewport in Maya. This would really help me render my models on actual photos so that I can more quickly match lighting and perspective. The documentation states that I would need to enable "Alpha ...

Hello,

I had two questions. I jumped right away on securing the nice pricing of upgrading my standalone and plugin. I've downloaded the standalone and noticed there isn't a download for Maya V3 yet.

1. When is the V3 Maya going to be released (do you know yet)?
2. Should I wait to install the ...

Texture Display Issue:
-Textures in the Octane shaders do not display in the Maya Modeling window.
-This also causes a problem when I try to use the UV Texture Editor.
-The image does not display in that window either so I can't quickly adjust the UVs.

If you are under a crunch and you ...

Yep, applied what you said and that worked of course. It's weird because in my mind it seems logical to go by degrees or whole numbers. The scales used by some of the dialogue boxes are so foreign to me coming from Mental Ray. Oh well, no skin of my nose. It works and that's all that matters. Thanks ...

I did try to input a number in both of those fields and the number will not be accepted higher than 1. In fact, whatever number I input, the number reverts to 1. For example, if I input 20 into either field, after pressing return, it switches to the value of 1. Do I have to unlock this somehow?

I am using the Octane for Maya plugin and I'm working well with it so far, but I have a question.

How do you rotate the Texture environment? So I am using an image to illuminate my scene. I order to do this of course I clicked the "Create Octane Sun/Sky Environment Node" button in the OctaneRender ...
