here from the maya 2020 version. It's impossible for me to get roughly equal sized triangular faces as demonstrated no matter how i adjusted my sliders.
is it possible to fill any object with cubes in mash? Like a human body from tron legacy movie? I tried with a human face with voxel setting but the cubes wont fill the inside of human head completely. I tried modifying the pivot of the mash cube. The centroids of mash cubes and faces of human head mesh were coincided. I have tried adjusting the voxel size settings as well as scaling the cube. it wont work! is there anyway to achieve that? filling inside an object?(not like filling a jar using mash dynamics but like from the tron movie) i would very much appreciate some help, plz...
Thank you, it is very usfull. Is it possible to explain how to write with pen like "paul potter" i could write paul but dont know how to write with same pen in continuation potter or else. Is it also possible to do with node editor. I would be very grateful. Thank you.
I seem to have the issue where Some of the vertices aren't connecting. A good majority of the phrase which I am typing is connected by some segments of the letters are failing to connect. Please Help Thank you.
i notice that in maya 2017 the random node has different attribute and the minimum maximum values are no more present. how ever can i obtain the same result using the new random node?
Yeah, it's a little different now. What you would do is first, make sure the Distance value on the Distribute node is set to 0. Then, in the Random node, just blast the Position X, Position Y, and Position Z values to a really high value.
i appreciate very very much your quick answer!! i m trying to learn mash the best i can and the tuts around are not so many;) and those little differences between the new relaeses, sometimes, are not easy to be solved. thanks again;)
if you don't have "T" button in the polygons shelf . go to this web to dowload : www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/maya-extension (have to Sign in) update to Maya 2016 Extension 2
Yes, you definitely can! Instead of using the a type mesh as the input object for the distribution, you can just use any other kind of mesh. We have an example of that here: th-cam.com/video/BbNfAME1Km4/w-d-xo.html
You can use Maya's Batch Render feature to render out individual frames or movie files, then import those into AE or Photoshop. See th-cam.com/video/CFFtjSulCsk/w-d-xo.htmlm4s for an example.
hi there, nice tutorial. I´ve got a problem where you put the "random" node on the MASH. How do you add the "random" node to the position only? I don´t get the dropdown menu like in your video, i can only add the random node without choosing where on my translations to put.
ok i´ve found the 2 sliders "Max Number" & "Min Number", they are under "Strength PP" now. But they don´t have any effect. I think that´s another bug within maya and the newest version. Hopefully it´ll get fixed the next 10 Years :) maybe^^ rolleyes
MASH has changed a bit since this video was made. Now instead of what's shown here, you can simply select the Random node, go to the Attribute Editor, and adjust the various Position values to affect the amount of randomization in each axis. Just zero out any positions you don't want randomized.
Actually it works on any font, caps or non-caps. You just need to adjust the number of distribution points, search radius, and/or Deformable Type settings per font, because different fonts have different mesh layouts.

Great Video
I've made my text "TriforceDelgeezy" for my cosplay channel. This sure helped me. Thank you.

Excellent Tut. Saved my bacon! Thnx...

Try adjusting the Deformable Type options shown at 2:00 while the trails are enabled.

Awesome! how would you go about rendering this out? I tried to do a batch render but it didn't come out right.
meaning it doesn't look like the playblast or frame render instead it's blocky.
Were you using mental ray or another renderer like Arnold? The default Software/Hardware renderers won't give you the best final result.

Is there a way to do this with an object in the shape of text, rather than actual type text itself? If so, how?
Yes, you definitely can! Instead of using the a type mesh as the input object for the distribution, you can just use any other kind of mesh. We have an example of that here: th-cam.com/video/BbNfAME1Km4/w-d-xo.html
Ok so then how do you render this out into after effects or photoshop ?

the plexus lines seem very thin and hardly visible to me, do you know why?
Try increasing the Trail node's Trail Scale attribute.
Thank you
The little orange ''T'' button is not there? ( I am using student version....)
Go to the Plug-in Editor and make sure "Type.mll" is loaded.
I think it's because I can't install MASH, I have looked every where for a tutorial. Nothing is there, how do I install mash?
Are you on Maya 2016 Extension 2? It installs automatically with that extension.
Yeah, but I'm not sure what to do because nothing is there...
If you can't find them in the Plug-ins menu then I suspect you have either 2016 or 2016 extension 1, but not extension 2.
I want to help you how to activate the tool MASH effects Please
If you're running Maya 2016 ext 2 or newer, you can activate them in the Plug-in Editor.
nice
Great, useless on any other text that's not in caps lock.
Actually it works on any font, caps or non-caps. You just need to adjust the number of distribution points, search radius, and/or Deformable Type settings per font, because different fonts have different mesh layouts.
Cheesy
How complicated, better use c4d with netcreator or ubertracer free plug-ins
