In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Ok. Maya, for some odd reason, just decided to start working again. This after a reformat and reinstall. What did I do differently this time? I didn't import my saved settings I had from an earlier install. Could that have done it? Possible. It's possible there was a setting in there somewhere that was corrupting the rendering process.

Anyway, I'm up and running again and once again a happy camper. user added image

Sounds like a stupid question but how did you get rid of the saved settings? Is this deferent then deleating history?

I had the same problems with Maya 4.5, so did a friend of mine.

No. You just delete them from the C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Maya/4.5/prefs and replace them.
