This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Can't open files

Hi SImplyMaya, I can't open or save any files in Maya. This is what the Script Editor prints out: # Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/others/fromNativePath.mel line 90: (unicode error) 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) #

Before this happened, I tried to set my default root (or something like this, I forgot it user added image) to a folder. I believe that the solution is simple, but I don't know how to fix it.

I'd kind understand if you've never gotten help here but you and I both know better. So instead of not replying at all, you decided to come back, not to share the solution but to take a jab at the community. Classy.

Thats ok Gen, people here seem to forget we dont have people or Mods on 24/7. Most of us actually have lives and jobs etc etc and what little time we do have, we donate freely to this community. One must remember that barbed comments can be reciprocated just as easily user added image not too mention the lack of future engagements as people will be less willing to help.
