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

Maya File error

I have a Maya File that keeps launching and crashing with a critical error. Anyone know a way to check the file for the damage? or a way to maybe open it just long enough to safe a new version of it?

It's an ASCII file

Alright I am pretty much caught up with where this file was at anyway so dont worry to much about it. How ever if anyone comes up with a solution or knows a good place to learn this type of stuff to fix later problems please keep me informed.

It might be a corrupted DLL, DeformSlice.dll. You might want to try reinstalling, as this may happen again.

I recreated the problem, its using Transfer Attributes with UV selected instead of World, Local, or Component . Happens everytime I try and use that selection.
