Non-destructive thickness in Maya?

ned_poreyra

In 3ds Max there is Shell modifier, in Blender there is Solidify modifier, how is it called in Maya and where is it? Here is what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzrKAU8bFU4

I'm not sure about it being non destructive since that isn't Maya's strong suit, but doing an extrude on a single sided object works like the shell modifier.

If simply extruding the faces isn't what you're after, you could try this move normal trick.

In maya 2018 and later you can do this by ctrl+middle mouse drag with the move tool and component selection activated.

m4dcow got it, but an important detail to note is that you have to be in object mode, not face/component mode.

Here's a script that works like Maxs shell modifier, and has a few extra features: https://gumroad.com/l/shellmodv2#
