Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
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.

IS THIS A BUG or am i just an idiot??

when you press spacebar over a viewport it should maximize the port and show what ever is in it.


-my maya maximizes and nothing shows up on screen.

-seems like the objects get invisible some how

-solution. would be to press the play button or select change from object to component mode for any object to show up.


-the only view that works right is top view.

-it started doing this after i installed the patch for maya 5


-is there a setting that it changed when i updated? or is it just a bug?


THANX

This has been mentioned quite often so far. The best I can figure is it is an issue with the latest drivers of GeForce graphics cards. Let me know if you aren't using a GeForce.

Yeah I have that same problem, but I am using a GeForce card. The only way i can get the things to show up when the screen is blank is by just dragging a box with my mouse until it selects something and then everyhting appears. So that works for me cause I can't figure out how to fix it.

Seems the best solution that people have come up with for this is to revert back to the older drivers.
