Maya Bevel Edge?!

BreaK

Hi guys, could do with some help here.

I'm wondering if there's a way to bevel edges from inside to out?!

Heres an image of what I mean.

Instead of smoothing them as in "rounding off" the canister has a kind of groove cut into it. Is there a specifc too in maya to create this?

I've tried to bevel edges with a - value but its not working.

Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks!

Not Maya, but in Softimage beveling the inner loop will created that kind of groove. Maybe the behavior is the same in Maya?

In Maya, you bevel, then in the channel options turn Auto-Fit to off and then invert the roundness value to a minus. Simple!

Awesome! I'll have a go in a bit. Cheers guys.

Great, does exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

To be a complete noob, is there an easy way to select an edge loop?

I'm used to low poly stuff, so individually selecting a loop around a high poly cylinder can take a while!

Sorry to sound totally dumb but this is kinda new to me! (HP anyway).

Gah got it....NM.

Double-click an edge on the loop. Hold control+right click for other edge loop/edge ring option.

Sorry to give life to a dead thread but the search button lead me here


Is this possible in max at all?

Been searching for a while without much luck, or is there a script that till do this?


edit: Specifically the maya auto fit part, with the roundness value at a negative, thanks!
