viewport 2.0 crashes on me as soon as i turn it on. THeir can be nothing in the scene, and it will still crash. Im am using maya 2012. WHats going on?

@caveman357 Most likely the problem is the video card, are u using a good card? Also did u install the latest driver.

[panupat]

should have made it without music you know. So annoying and distracting

[TheIcemanModdeler]

@panupat Really, so youre telling me that u prefer silence over a music, than just turn off the sound.

[TheGennaios]

can you tell me how to add the custom tools and all the others?

[TheIcemanModdeler]

@TheGennaios If u are reffering to the custom self those are my personal tools that i use most often so i added them to my shelf, some are normal maya tools others are scripts, and the other shelves u see are from plugins i installed, for example the SHAVE shelf is for the Shave & Haircut plugin for maya. To add a tool to the shelf hold ctrl + shift and left click over what tool u want to add it to the shelf u are on.

[caveman357]

@TheIcemanModdeler yup. That was it! I dont think its as good as lightwaves vpr, but its a start.

[TheIcemanModdeler]

@TheChelnov Wow, i feel the same way, ive been using Maya for almost 8 years now and the truth is that it is very vast but there is a reason why the biggest movies are made in Maya, movies like Lord of the RIngs, Beowulf, Ice Age,Avatar and list goes on and on. I worked for a year in production where i was in charge with most of the production from modeling to final compose and Maya is a complete package as oppose to Max where u need to install alot of plugins to make it a complete pachage.

[TheChelnov]

many people say Maya is difficult, but I got my hands on 3ds Max, XSI and c4d.

Although C4d is excellent for motion graphics but I found Modeling in Maya as much easy as in C4d, especially 3d logos and Maya is no doubt deep and vast, but it's not difficult as people says, and whoever say it's tool are useless, I want to hit their heads with a steel pipe.

@Mydadsdog Youre right, if u watched the official AUTODESK demonstration regarding Viewport 2.0 u will see that they are using the main Deus Ex character also with an environment. I only did this video just as a quick test with a random game model i made.
