Maya Bevel Question

RandyBatty

Hello everyone. I was watching a cinema4d video and a question came in my mind when compared with maya. In maya, at least to my knowledge, there are 2 options to bevel, either beveling the whole mesh, or selecting the edges you want to bevel. In cinema though, if you bevel your whole mesh and then use the option -use angle-, it wont bevel every edge there is on the mesh. I ll post a screenshot to explain further. For example, in this mesh, in maya I select individually and then bevel or else all edges are bevel.In cinema though, if I bevel the whole mesh and then use the -use angle- then it only bevels the edges I have selected on the image below.Which is extremely useful. So does anyone have any idea if this operation can also be done in maya and I dont know about it?

In maya you select the hard edges you created first and bevel those. There are several scripts out there doing that in one go.

thanks for the answer.yeah i already found some scripts that can actually do that, was wondering if maya had that option that I wasnt aware of without using something external!!

Maya can sorta do it by using Select->Use Constraints. Then set edge mode and set selection constraint to 'hard' before applying the bevel. But yeah, nothing as streamlined as what you describe in c4d or using a script as oglu mentioned.
