  1. Dear Mr.Mike, thank you for this tutorial video, can i ask some question, i am using Maya 2017 for Student, when i click on the Polygon Plane or Polygon Cube, it automatically create the plane at the middle, how can change this to manual ? Sorry for my bad English, i'm new on Maya. Thank you!

  2. Hi mike, first at all, ty so much for the tutorial series, and second…
    I dunno why i only have 3 presets only on the quality of the mental ray sampling mode. I am in maya 2014×64.
    Any suggestions?

  3. thank you.
    and also when i tried to create a reflection in a reflection, what i mean by that is that i put 1 mirror in front of my model and another at the back, i only get like 4 series of reflection. my goal is to see infinite reflection. is it possible in maya 2014?
    thnx.

  4. Hi Mike, thanks for this tutorial as usual. Even if this mirror thing is easy, I'm struggling a lot. When I try to render it says : output data type "rgba_h" not directly supported by image format iff, conversion performed by mental ray. 

    Doing some research I tried various fix:

    1- Changed Iff to another format (TIFF)
    2- Changed Rgba from half to short and from 4×16 to 4×8 bit under FrameBuffer in the Quality Tab
    3- Deleted pref in documents and loaded default settings
    4- Done various new scenes with a fresh default Maya
    5- Even if Maya says that is a rgba problem, the console shows this instead: 12 MB error 301031: call to undeclared function "maya_color_transform_data"

    No idea how to fix this. Can you help me? : (
    (I'm using Maya 2015 – Student Version)

  5. Umm sir, is there any other plug ins thats needs to be downloaded? also is there a website you know of to have practice creating objects because i get bored doing the same thing over and over with the same skills.
