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 stopped running altogether

imac 3Gz 4gig RAM
Maya version 2010 student 6month licence.
Problem: Nothing opens except the script window with the following***
// Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/startup/layerEditor.mel line 4137: Could not find attribute named "defaultRenderLayer.precompTemplate" //
// MayaLive version 2010// cgfxShader 4.4 for Maya 2010.0 (Jul 28 2009)
updateRendererUI;
// Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/live/mlCreateUI.mel line 155: Object not found: . //
// Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2010/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/addMenuItemSafe.mel line 63: Object not found: mainRenderMenu. //
It happened after opening a tutorial scene file. I think i tried to 'Set the project' to a location, just to get in the habit of doing so. Not sure if that screwed it somehow. Uninstalled and re-installed software. Same result. Makes me think it's a screwed up directory (says me, who is pc illiterate beyong using software)

Uninstall, delete your preferences, then reinstall.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
