The tip about changing scale was really helpful for me. I was also working in meters, which seems to cause MASH curves to be placed very far away from the center of the workspace.
@CGITutorials3 жыл бұрын
I know! It honestly took me hours to figure some of these steps out. Mash (and maya in general) is very unforgiving. Thanks for feedback and glad it helped!

@@CGITutorials I don't know why you would need to work in meters. Maya always calculates in centimeters no matter what units you choose. Better to always leave that alone.

I am going to do a 1 minute video answer to your question soon, but in the meantime I cover it in the first 4.5 minutes of this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGOahJV-mruVn5o. Basically assign an AI standard surface, set the preset to chrome or something, and then add an hdri image to the arnold skydome, turn the viewport lightbulb on and it looks really nice. Hope that helps!

The last bit, where you make a copy of the MASH node, you could use the symmetry node instead. Saves the extra work if there are future changes

The original mesh gets hidden when you use MASH. So, you just have to find the hidden original mesh and adjust it (rotate, scale) to fit the thing.

Do you know how to slow down the animation speed over time? E.g I want the tracks to run at full speed, then slow down to a stop. Simply key framing the speed attribute is giving me weird results. (popping on and off, e.t.c). Even adding a time warp gives unexpected results.
@CGITutorials3 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I had issues trying that too which is super annoying. To be honest, anything other than a continuous looping animation at a steady speed would be better off done with a proper rig like this 1 hour tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJrVqIiolrieba8&ab_channel=NGEN

Can you please help me, I made my tracks perfectly it's come out amazing but it's slowed my PC down like crazy and is using up a ton of ram... I duno if its due to the fact I have so many objects in my scene now or if it's due to me using MASH to create the tracks but I've also duplicated my MASH tracks x3 and then combined the 3 tracks with my wheel objects and I it's just made maya so slow that I can't really work anymore. I also have to say I have a really beefy PC so I can't understand why this is happening, along with 32GB of RAM. If you have any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

The only thing I can think of is to either separate them for this method or if you have your treads in a straight line, you could play with deform>nonlinear>bend or something similar. I would only know how to get an oval shape, or half of a pill shape of animated tracks with this method.

I had that problem for several hours too and it really annoyed me, after lots of troubleshooting I made the steps for this vid. All I can say is to delete everything and try again from scratch following every step in the video, sometimes the second / third time is the charm! Mash is annoyingly finniky and I hope they can make it more user friendly soon.
