Ok, I’m an experienced user and this is my first time working with Lumetri Color after discovering and studying the video by Jake in Motion. GREAT video by the way.

So After adjusting lumetri properties for different points on different layers in the video, I saved out my presets for those with different names.

Questions:

1, Are you supposed to be able to drag a named preset from Effects & Presets > hamburger icon > show all presets > User Presets > preset name to a layer? If so, this is not working - nothing appears/happens if any are dragged onto a selected layer.

2, If I do. Effects & Presets > Lumetri > drag on to my layer > Effects Controls Panel > Animation Presets, not all are showing up whether I use the twirl down arrow or the right and left scroll thru arrows. The ones that are there work when selected.

I have 11 various presets in my windows explorer presets folder, 6 are Lumetri. All 6 show in the Effects & Presets panel, but don’t seem accessible, only 5 are showing via the Effect Controls panel.

This still happens after closing and re opening an AE file, and rebooting.

Would love any thoughts.

So I rarely ever use the Arnold Noice denoiser. Mainly the Optix w Gpu. The optix denoiser is just not cutting it with some noisy areas in a hundreds of frames long sequence this time. So I’m trying the Arnold Noice post render denoiser.

I rendered a 60 frame test, made sure Output Denoising AOVs was checked, rendered using CPU.

I opened the Arnold > Utilities window and set the basic values and folders. I click the Denoise button and it looks like it’s doing it’s thing - I can see the progress bar as it’s working.

When it finishes there are no denoised frames. I’ve searched everywhere. And also did a top level Windows 11 explorer “search > This PC > *denoised*.exr”. Nothing.

No warnings in the Maya script editor.

Anyone have any ideas or things I might try or take a look at. Thanks.

I’m creating an animation representing a portion of intestine being grasped and moved by two forceps.

I’m using a long mapped cylinder that gets pinched in two spots (the blend shape). I then used a bezier curve to create a Curvewarp on the cylinder with the blendshape.

I keyed the blend shape (no pinch, pinch1, then the second pinch), no problem so far.

Then I moved and keyed bezier curve points and handle points to move a portion of the cylinder into position. That animates well, but now it’s as-if the blend isn’t there or may show sporadically on a frame or two if I click in the timeline.

I can see the blendshape correct keys in the timeline and also in the graph editor.

Would love any tips or suggestions.

Experienced user here. So out of the blue I suddenly cannot Un-Template an object.

I’ve tried highlighting in the outliner top window menu > Display > Object Display > Un Template

Also via the Display and override settings in the Attribute Editor settings.

I can select in the outliner and Hide and Display object work. Also I can go into the component mode and the wireframe color changes in the viewport as normal, but no options (vertices, planes, edges) work are selectable.

The object does not show when flat shading is selected, but stays as wireframe. I cannot select it in the viewport.

I tried saving out the scene, closing, and reopening and it’s the same situation. Also opening with a prior version of Maya and it’s the same.

The object does not export.

I did the delete preferences thing. Same deal.

Anyone ever come across this or have any suggestions? It’s like this thing turned into a ghost haunting my project.
