I NEED HELP!
 

Ok, I am having lots of trouble here.

I did a tutorial in the official Maya Help section(F1) for making a realisitic looking orange. It used something(a material) that was already loaded into maya, and now I cant find where that is. I have many things that I would like to use some of those good materials for.

Now, your thinking "Just go back into the help section, you retard." Buuutt... Its not working now. When I press "F1" although an internet page comes up, nothing is on it. Its completely blank.

WTF is happening?

I just found something called a "Visor" which I seem to remember. I have just flitted through the options and unfortunetly, it uses brushes, something I dont know how to use yet. Can someone lend an ear?

for a material for the bump map just use a fractal for bump.

But I dont know why your help disappeared... :confused:

Cool, thanks, Ill use the fractal. Also, (sigh, ;), another problem with my computer...) when I try and go onto SM chat(go to forums, and right under where it lists active users it says choin chat.) It will load everything ok except for the last thing

"Error. refused connection to IRC."

wtf is going on! ;)

yawn- its been screwed up for about 6 mos. now.

Oh, thats lame. Tell someone to fix it already ;)
