Hey everyone, I am having a problem with assigning new material for giving texture to a object in maya 2020. It says" Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/renderCreateBarUI.mel line 586: Object '' not found." . I searched solution for this error, they asked to reset my preferences. But that don't work for me. Please help me.
I am providing you two different scenes, in both of them I tried to give texture but showing same error . I have attached the both files and giving links to the youtube videos which I have used to build them step by step. As I am a beginner, so I copied every step same as they do.
Not sure if this is it, but if you're trying to apply the material by right-clicking and selecting an option in the viewport, try assigning the material in Hypershade itself (Select the object in the viewport, right-click on the material and "Assign material to selection")
I got it fixed. As you suggested me to try the hypershade, but there was nothing in the hypershade window it was empty, and i search for the solution for that on youtube I found a video which was saying to change my device region setting to English(United States). The problem was with the software's bit codes. The bitcodes of the maya software files were in English(United States) stander.
sorry for replying to late. I hope you already have solved your problem, but if not go to this YouTube link( _hTM2QoonBA). This will help you to change your region setting for your device which is causing this error.
As a student aiming at computer game development degree at a local community college I don't see the incentive to purchase a 3500$ or monthly cost of 160$ a month as a doable, or even reasonable cost/benefit software program.
I am much more likely to try and cope wth much less functional and comprehensive programs as the cost is far beyond the range of a broke college student trying to etch out a living.
I honestly don't find paying the same amount for an excellent A to B car for single piece of software as even fair market value. Likewise it is also triple the cost of my computer!!
6-months rent where I live in poverty as a student, for a single piece of software? Absurd frankly. Even the monopoly cable companies charge a third of the cost of this single program.
So honestly, what gives?
This isn't even to mention the the partner programs such as Photoshop etc, are so much cheaper to produce graphic arts. At least their prices are only "robber-baron-esque"
I understand joane.bonghanoy, and that is neat. as astudent I am able to study using some of the best and most used tools in the industry, but it dosen't chage the reality of a prospective customer with no guarantee of employment afterwards. I will not be able to use the tools I train with because the buy in is far too steep. Maybe years down the road, but it's far too expensive until I am already at the point of being successful using other tools that are affordable for a low income American.
This isn't an entry level or hobby software, it is "big P" Professional software with the costs appropriate to what it can deliver. If you intend to run a business with this or any other software it is expected that you would be charging your clients an appropriate amount to cover your costs - just like the rest of us. If you are just looking for hobby software to play around with then again, like the rest of us, you'll need to save and prioritize your money until you can afford what you want.
But I agree with others here, Maya is pricy but it is pricy for the owned version, which is usually paid for by those making money off of it. Otherwise people usually use the edu version. Hell any classes/training you take involving Maya or any 3D modeling, animation, etc... are also very expensive. This is not a cheap or poor mans industry thats for sure. Besides the program and training, you need the hardware to augment everything, especially if you are trying to make money and get work with it. Best to wrap your head (and wallet) around that now and find a way to make it work or find something that will make you money to eventally pay for your desire to learn and have the things needed to further your 3D life. Is what it is!!
"But I agree with others here, Maya is pricy but it is pricy for the owned version, which is usually paid for by those making money off of it."
There is really no incentive to be loyal, or interested at all.

Not true actually, I am doing just fine on grants paying my way through community college.
The fact of the matter is, I see nothing really drawing me in to use Maya vs. well .. anything else at all. The advertising for this extremely expensive software seems to be insider industry word of mouth.
But that still dosen't change the cost reality vs new graduate with loans to pay off issue. In fact it alienates me because of the iffyness of the industry in general. There is literally no reason to pursue a brand that reaches this deep into your pocket as if we are all drinking the same punch and livin hand in hand.
A single person has directed me to alternative software, but again I see no incentive to try Maya Light either vs. anything else available as open source.
I really had hoped there would be better information, but I am not surprised since the cost raises a flag that the commercial end doesn't seem really understand it's own field very well.
Please demonstrate me wrong, but don't bother if I'm just going to get another misplaced brow beating for sincere curiosity.
