r/Maya•

I'm trying to bake out a shader using cmds.convertSolidTx on a shader channel and a mesh in headless standalone Maya. I then take those textures, do some PIL work on them and build a new shader with them

I've got a function that works great in interactive but throws up the error: Failed attempt to issue command to imageServer.

Can anyone confirm that converSolidTx works in headless? is this a PIL error instead? I'm open to alternate methods to do this as well.

Thanks.

I picked up a surplus A1 stock from a cardboard box in the corner of a LGS once upon a time. Finally getting around to my build and I discover that I can't get the stock onto the receiver extension (buffer tube). Looking closer there appears to be a 'bump' inside the stock that's preventing it from going on.

I kind of don't want to mortar my stock on. I find that forcing parts is rarely the right way. I also don't want to damage the stock and go through the trouble of sourcing a different one. I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like this before and if/how was it fixed? Should I just go to town with a big file?

Thanks for any advice and let me know if this isn't the right place for

I'm an idiot. I didn't do enough research before soldering some things up.

I'm using an m0 board (adafruit feather m0 proto: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2772) to control an nRF24l sub-board (https://www.addicore.com/NRF24L01-PA-LNA-p/ad269.htm). So I stuck some female headers into the proto area and soldered those to their proper pins. Because I didn't do enough research it turns out that best practice is to include a capacitor between the power and ground on the nRF24l. Rather than disassemble all of this and rework it. I was thinking I could probably just sort of tack on my capacitor on

I've got a house built in 1938. All the walls are lathe, chicken wire, and plaster which makes WiFi horrible. There's a router in the front of the house next to the internet connection.

Right now we're running a flat Cat6 cable taped to the floor and walls back to an Access Point in the back of the house. This looks terrible and I would like to fix it.

My plan is to go into the crawl space under the house, install some junction boxes and conduit under the floors to hold some Cat6 cabling from the front room where the router/internet drop is to the back of the house where the Access Point is. Call it 50 feet tops. Cap the ends with wall plates on the floor.

There is already some cabling

Is this a bad idea?

I, with relatively little hardware XP, have a project with a bunch of lights and switches and pushbuttons. This leaves me needing a bunch more ground pins than the board has.

I figured I'd take a proto board, solder in a bunch of pins, then take a small wire and lay it across the short side of the pins, then solder the wire to all the pins. In effect making my own breadboard.

Any thing i should look out for? Light solder? Heavy solder? Would this be a fire hazard?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi all,

I've been playing around with the HttpServer module trying to get Unreal acting as a custom REST server so I can handle requests.

I've taken a look at WebRemoteControl.cpp and tried to replicate what it's doing with my own endpoint. (I can't find any tutorials for any of this online anywhere, if you know of some I'd really appreciate links)

I've created an HttpRouter object:
myHttpRouter = FHttpServerModule::Get().GetHttpRouter(port);

Created the handle object:
BaseHandle = myHttpRouter->BindRoute(FHttpPath(TEXT("/base")), , EHttpServerRequestVerbs::VERB_OPTIONS, [this](const FHttpServerRequest& Request, const FHttpResultCallback& OnComplete)

Started my listeners:
