The problem has been bugging me for the last month--since I started using Maya. Please, please, please Help!
I am missing Attributes that should definitely be there. For instance, if I apply a checker pattern, then go to "Checker Attributes" there are no options. There should be a "Color 1", "Color 2", "Contrast" options. This is true for most tools. I will have zero or missing options under the "\_\_\_\_ Attributes". The same is true in other propreties in the attribute editor. I am using Maya 7.
I know history is on. What am I missing?? It's been driving me crazy, and I'm not able to explore some of the options I'm studying. Thank you. -Brent
