Hello, first of all your tutorials are amazing, very direct and spot on, but i'm having couple of issues. I dont see any lights, my projector doesnt show any light and neither does my room, my lights are on (at the toolbar icon) i only see those lights when i test render or when i render a video. My second issue is that my planets are moving very fast for the first 70-80 frames but then they slow down and move like they are supposed to, even though i set their anime graph curve to spline, and post infinity to linear.
Whenever I attempt to render the scene to avi, Maya crashes on me. Is there a way to convert the tga sequence to video with another program?
do you have tutorials on body modeling
Question: In my hypershade viewport it has the shotcam camera instead of the perspective view. How do I switch the camera in Maya 2017?

How do you pan the screen? I did the previous tutorial all day today (very good btw) but that was the one thing I could not figure out how to do.
Brilliant tutorial and incredibly well presented. The only issue I am having though is to try and view through the camera – I'm using a Mac and it appears the Panels – Perspective function is not easily available! Any ideas? It's driving me round the bend!!! Thanks
Just started Maya today at college. These tutorials are fantastic. Thanks very much

Hey
I got this problemo: when i render room in 'maya software' option I cannot see the room interior (actually whole picture is black). It only works when I change to 'Maya hardware 2.0'. Otherwise I have to get very close to the room center to see the result.
PS in both cases I am sure that I am INSIDE of room
Pleas help,
Cheers
u must pay dude wkwk
