Max to Maya

osman

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this has been posted a thousand times, but I've switched to maya lately( I had to, dont ask why). Now this is not for always, I love max, and I'll eventualy get back to it.

Now my question is..well actualy I have alot of questions, but I was wondering if there are sites/threads that you could point me to where I can information on the differences of max and maya, and where the same tools are located in Maya. ( I tried searching, and did found some answers, but I still have a lot of questions)

So, to start with the questions:
1: In the max uv editor, I can select a face and move it around freely. In maya I have failed to do that. Could someone tell me how that's done?(I dont want to detach that face from the rest of the uv's)

Thanks in advance.

osman.... if you're in the UV editor, you can (RMB>Face) select the face , which will highlight only that face... then (RMB>UV) marquee select that face and it will convert the face to a UV selection, and you can freely move that (face) selection in uv space
