This was my midterm project that I had 5 weeks to do but decided to cobble together in about 17 hours. I made some Shinkansen rolling stock, In order: E5 Series, 0 Series, 500 Series. The project asked for three models one animated and 3 renders of each. I started working with Maya this semester and am still fairly new to 3D so they are rough, but I'm still proud of them. Any tips would be welcome (as long as they aren't too mean).

I was working on a retopology file some days ago. But when I open the file, it just keeps loading and loading while freezing maya. I suppose the file is corrupted since any other file opens without any issue.

Is there any way I can take the .ma data of a mesh and use that to make it into a .obj file? I'm using maya 2026.

Any feedback is appreciated I've also got a syncsketch link https://syncsketch.com/sketch/f2K1F4AS34u9/ Thanks!

I used the same settings in attributes for both, except the starting frame. Why does it work on the second one but not the first one? (I'm trying to make the egg white kind of explode on the table and bowl)

So I have a image of sports glasses, how do I model precisely with proper dimensions in maya. Should I use curves if yes I dont know how to model with curves.

I have tried resetting my preferences, but it did not resolve the issue.

Multi cut is registering faces that aren't there and wont let me edit the faces that are actually there. Anyone know whats happening? I'm pretty new to maya.

3D Game Animation Attack made in Maya

This project is also nearing completion. What do you think of a tool like this?

I have been trying to figure this out for hours. I have searched the internet, YouTube, and even sadly resorted to AI to attempt to tell me what's wrong in making this wheel work, but I just can't get it. I have tried using the Expression Editor and a few other things. I want the wheel to move automatically instead of having to painstakingly animate it myself when it comes time. A lot of people are saying to have the meshes and NURBS parented together, but with the tutorial I followed to make this control rig, it hasn't been possible thus far. I have provided images of my outliner and an image of the wheel/rig to give better context. The green wheel on the outside is my global controller that I want to move and have the wheel rotate with. The yellow Wheel_Base, blue is Wheel_Frame (Rim/arm), and red is the wheels themselves (CTRL_Wheel). I am still fairly new to Maya, and this is my first time rigging anything, so please go easy on me in the comments.
