Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Strange Joint Action

After I draw my first joint, I get green and red lines going everywhere. I can't seem to place joints out there user added image.

Reason: Viewport 2.0...why? No clue.

After thinking about this for a second. I thought, perhaps it has something to do with the camera, but that wasn't it. So I took a look at <show> menu, nothing, everything was ok. Then I began to ponder, "what if it has something to do with the viewer?, as I've been having issues with the rendering visuals as well user added image. Sure enough, when I switched the Maya 2016 viewport of the 3 choices, to the Legacy(2nd from the top), the joints appeared.

Something very odd. Now this is only happening on the PC install, not the macbook. Very strange.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

FYI...I should mention, I've updated to the newest sp5, as well as Mental Ray's latest update.

What video card do you have? Have you updated the drivers recently?


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Hey NextDesign.

The video card is the GeoForce GTX 970 SC2, with all current, updated drivers(hard not to upgrade as it always comes up with alerts).

Thanks!
