You need “Inset”? In the Extrude you may use Offset… with MMouse Botton...is very good… I’m using a lot.

If it is done then i will be the most happiest instructor let me say
i need Joe alter shave and hair cut for maya permanently not as a plugin
so that we can also do production level of styling in hairs and fur
because mayas hair and fur is not upto mark and those orthodox way of styling is to long way to achieve the quality.

MAYA My love

this is unbelievable!!!
Max have a proyect for restructure!! and now will works in nodes?

http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/ken/the_au_experience_and_excalibur

restructur for the next 20 yers!?
okey.... autodesk..
and maya? why i don’see efforts to make better hypershade..or hair or rigging? or multiproccesors?
hmmmm i want to cry!
IM NOT want to change maya!.Please nononoono not restructur maya… but maybe,a littel better effort performance in the architecture.
hello moderator? a sign of maya proyect’s?

Bye

just one wish :

multithreaded pointConstraint ( for use on next-generation Intel CPUs ... imagine a “Rock Creek” CPU with 48cores and maya only uses “one” of them ??? multithreaded ... biggest wish !!! maybe having an attribute on each node , which will define , on which CPUcore the calculation should be done , then one could simply iterate through all nodes and set CPUcore+1 , KEEP IT SIMPLE ! )

hopefully there will be a CORE-re-write soon , maybe the QT-implementation ( re-Write of the GUI ) also leads the developer-team to re-Write the entire software , step-by-step ... maybe even , eliminating some of the bugs , from the past .

and yes ... i guess , the common displaying-problems , on e.g. 2 Displays , and flickering and freezes in the hypershade could be things , from the past .

..........OK , now it is 3 wishes - but anyway , have a nice day :D

I don’t have a mouse with 12 buttons for nothing…

Allow the option to edit mouse button bindings.

Also, spreadsheets are great for organizing data. Take a look at open office or ms excel...what better way is there to organize all 1800+ commands?

Adding filters would be a plus…

To clarify what I’m talking about, this is something of what I’d like the hotkey editor to look like as far as organization methods go: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AldqIx67ecP5dG1Oeld1dzB1cmpWeURtZnJGcm10WUE&hl=en

Also, add profiles (eg Modeling, Animation, Visual Effects, et cetera) that alter both the hotkeys and the UI, since not everyone is a jack of all trades.

All in all, add more ergonomics to Maya to help streamline workflows of all kinds.

I have invested so much in maya switching to another app like 3Ds Max would seem to be a waste of time and money.

However if they do upgrade max to a node based app, that would be something to consider, coz whatever theyr going to do they have to integrate same maya’s node based architecture and workflow into the new max, and maybe call it something like mayamax :D and get rid of the old packages once and for all.

Talking about ancient Maya interface…
Thomas Mann said everything about it back in 2004.
Redesigning Maya

Seems like Maya developers are living under the rock if they don’t consider suggestions like that.

We would like to se full support for Renderpasses with Mental Images MIA_X Passes.
