This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Sounds like it could be a video card issue or some video processing issue. We get this problem every-so-often at the school I teach at. Manipulators don't show up, you cant see keyframes in the timeline, and certain tools don't work correctly. I've found the common fix for that is to simpy reboot the PC and it shows up. It's a weird thing and nobody seems to know why it happens. Give that a try and let me know if it works.

ok, for me i had to remove my custom preferences,
(my documents>maya>maya6.0>prefs) just rename the prefs folder, but you do lose your custom things, like shelves. until you name it back


or sometimes, u just have to go to modify>manipulators>show manipulator tools, but that didnt work for me

Ok, cool. I'm glad you solved the problem. Oddly enough, deleting the prefs folder was going to be my next suggestion. user added image
