I have a little question

I tried to open pendulum file which I took from pickup file folder with MAYA2009 but I can't see polygon surface but only wire frames. When I tried it at lab it was not even opened with maya2009. Can I ask why this happen?

  1. in the open window, click on the little box and click on "ignore version"

    I accidentally saved it in 2011. Just do that and save over it again and it will be a 2009 file.

  2. Or, make sure that the Shading options 'Smooth Shade All' and 'Use default materials' are checked.

  3. this happened to me too, even after trying to ignore the version. The thing is that, for some reason the geometry is not taking the material assigned. So what you can do is select the object, either on the viewport or in the outliner and right-click and then "assign existing material" (blinn 1, 2 or 3). you'll have the pendulum you saw in class!!
    Hope this helps! :)
