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

Wots happend to my model?

I just openend this ile this morning to remind myself how far I had got with it and it kept crashing Maya. So I opened other files I had created and they all worked fine - why don't this one work I asked myself.

Anyway, I went back to it having opened other files and then low and behold it opened, except that now it only apears in wireframe mode regardless I how I try and change/view it... anyone got any ideas?

I did managed to catch something about node missing when I tried opening it originally.

while you got it up, I would export it, incase you need still to clean something out of that file.

Try assinging a shader to it. It probably lost it.

i would just probably try to save it as a new file
if that doesn't work i would just delete it and start from a previous save that works and accept it as a corrupt file

Try to open an earlier incremental save.

Have you used some kind of a plugin shader perhaps? Try assigning new shaders to the plane...

Ok chaps & chapesses

This was a weird one. Whenever I tried opening the file before anything else it crashed Maya (I've never seen Maya crash this much). If I opened other projects and then opened this scene I got it permanently in wireframe mode it also put the name of the project in front of all of the items in Outliner.

Fortunately, I had a copy of the same file on my USB stick and I managed to get that file open without all this gibberish. I then went through and deleted all the histories on the larger polygon meshes and it seems to have fixed the problem.

In the script editor there was something about couldn't find the split polygon node7 so I think that is what caused the problem… possibly… we shall see user added image

Thanks for all your help, now back to me aeroplane user added image
