Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
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

I can't see the handles with the arrows in Maya

Ok guys,

Here is the prob. I can't see the arrows of the manipulators (scale, rotate,move) in all 4 views. I can only see them in 1 of the 4 views.
I already tried the + and - keys but that only scale or shrink the handles. And it is definately not a video driver issue.
Well, you can see from the pic for yourself.
Let me know of some solutions. Thanks in advance.

Two possible reasons for this:

1. It happened to me once when I changed my display settings from 32bit to 16.
2. If the above doesn't help then it could be your graphics card.

Maya doesn't like ATI

Sigh. I think I have a ATI video card afterall. So that is why I can't render paint effects. What is the cheapest decent video card out there that is compatable with Maya?
Thanks in advance.

The cheapest card that I think will work is the Geforce 5200FX, but don't take my word for it. It might be worth while doing a search on this forum first before spending the $$

Cheers

Cheapest card would probably be a GeForce 4 TI4200 with the soft quadro patch applied to it. I use that and maya runs perfect.

Thanks guys. I already reduce the resolution to 16, but it didn't work either. And someone said my card maybe too old. So I guess I'll invest $100 or something. Thanks again.

Lower the resolution not the bit depth. Try something 1152x864. For some reason Maya doesn't seem to like really high resolutions.

I happend to once, and it got fixed by reisnstalling maya (but I had to delete maya folder under c://documents and settings/...
if it will bother you that much, you can try this.
Oh, and that happend after I had to restart my comp, while maya was still running (and in that keys maya always gets funky).
