Hypershade Not working

[dudders]

obvious things first! :) Have you fiddled with the buttons on the top right of the hypershade? Or the tabs menu (sorry i dont know how you are in Maya! Apologies if this stupid)

Maybe delete or renamed the prefs file and if that doesnt work, reinstall

[rintintin]

try this, remove ( but dont delete) all the maya stuff from your 'My documents' area and let it generate a new lot from scratch. When you start Maya you'll get that watch the video's screen again. If its fixed the problem put back the scripts you use.

I have found this fixes lots of stuff when Maya goes wonky.

also, have you just installed Maya bonus tools?

If so i had the same problem, check out this thread http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98485

gotta luv that search button :).

Hope it works out.

i had the bonus tools installed before, i don't know if they still are... i just updated to 5.0.1 and now my hypershade doesn't work, i've tried all the tabs at the top nothing works except the table area. i'm guessing it's 5.0.1, because it worked before anyone know what i could do to fix it?

i do have the bonus tools installed but i don't have two hypershade.mel files... i've tried all the buttons i can, i can still assign shaders through rmb pull down menu but i can't access my textures, lights or any of the upper tabs...

this is getting very annoying... i might have to do a complete reinstall
:cry:
