This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Create Curve from Edges - Bonus Tools

I'm using Maya 6 Complete. Create Curve from Edges - one of the bonus tools doesn't seem to work. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm getting the error:

Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to createCrv.

This tells me nothing because I've tried all combinations from 1 edge to several. I've turned history on and off. I've deleted history. I've saved, shut down etc.

ideas?

crvOnPoly.mel

Hi guys - apparantly Maya 6.0 is a little buggy in places.

crvOnPoly.mel by Steven T. L. Roselle and updated for maya 6.0 by john_homer does the same job tho with fewer options.

I've attached the updated file which I found on cgtalk.

So for anyone wondering why you might want to use this script, if you're a member of the alias community go to:

https://www.alias.com/eng/community/t...es/index.jhtml

Basically it's using a curve with history made from a poly object to control eyelashes. You could make curves from a nurbs surface, made from a subd surface but if you want to use the same technique for a poly model you would want to take a curve from the edges. Well, that's the theory anyway. See if it works...
