Troll Witch Doctor

Troll Witch Doctor from DotA modification for Warcraft 3. I created this model with purpose to increase my Zbrush skills. I wasted lots of time working on it, so I decided don't paint it, but maybe  someday...

Change Default Maya Projects

In Maya by default in project setup lots of different folders. So each time you start a new project you have to rewrite or delete most of them. To save your time you can just change default project folders.

To do this find \Maya\scripts\others\np_getFileRuleWidgets.mel  (in Maya 2012 this options splited on two files: Primary Project Location - np_getPrimaryProjectFileRules.mel and Secondary  Project Location - np_getSecondaryProjectFileRules.mel), and just edit this scripts as you want.

Maya 2012 Hotkeys Bug

In some cases Maya 2012 doesn't work properly with hotkeys, that you assigned in Hotkey Editor.
For example I use "z" key ("undo" by default) as "FrameSelected", so i assign it in Hotkey Editor.
But Maya simply ignore Hotkey Editor, and works by default.
This same problem with "ctrl+q" combination.
To solve this problem you have to find scripts/startup/hotkeySetup.mel and overwrite hotkeys ther as you like.
You can use any text editor for this purpose.
