Curves Paint FX FAQ for Maya

Curves:
• Does anybody now how to get the tubes to be evenly spaced alone the stroke curve (like a fence)? (updated: 04/30/07)
• I have this file from a gentleman who is trying to have the stroke lie exactly along on the length of the curve that it was created from. First off, he created a curve and attached the fern brush to it. He then changed the tubes per step to 0,001 so that only one fern exists at the beginning of the tube. He increased the number of segments, as well as changing the Tube Direction to "Along Path". The Path Follow and Path Attract attributes were tweaked but he could not get the tube to occupy the same position as the nurbs curve. (updated: 03/13/05)
• Is there a way to manage which control curves are being used by specific brushes? (updated: 03/13/05)
• When the amount of strokes becomes large, must the number of control curves be equally large? (updated: 03/13/05)
• How does curveMaxDist work? (updated: 03/13/05)
• I just deleted all my pressure curves, and then the lengths of my hairs jumped out to great swirling arcs. (updated: 03/13/05)
• I created several strokes and applied pressure curves to them. This works well, but when I then reference this file into another, it all falls apart. (updated: 03/13/05)
• I've got several paint fx stokes that where created by making an object paintable. I now want to get rid of the original object. When I delete it, the strokes go as well (they still are in the scene, they just disappear). Is there an easy way to detach these strokes from the paintable object? (updated: 03/13/05)
• When would you want to use the normals on the Stroke node as opposed to setting the Elevation and Azimuth on the Brush node? (updated: 03/13/05)
• How is the stroke path curve normals determined in Maya PFX? (updated: 03/13/05)
• I selected a sphere for painting and painted a stroke on the sphere with paintAtDepth on. When I transformed the sphere the stroke did not move. (updated: 03/13/05)
• One draws a stroke on the grid plane and gets a certain look to the brush. If one creates a similar sized EP or CV curve and applies the brush to this new curve, the look (when rendered) is drastically different. (updated: 03/13/05)
