Does a All-in-one Gizmo exist in 3ds max (See exemple inside)

Felixenfeu

Hi fellow polycounters. I've been searching for a while but never found an answer to my question. I've searched both inside 3ds Max build-in functions and scripts... and nowhere did i found anything similiar to what i'm looking for.

Here's the contexte. I've been a Blender user for a long time. I'm using 3ds max max since about 3 years... and i've never found how i could have a All-in-one gizmo (Rotation + Scale + Tranlation) as in the image above :



The concept is simple. In Blender, you can use multiple gizmo tools only by holding the shift key and clicking on the tool's icon. In 3ds max, as far as i know, you can only use one gizmo tool at a time... So is there anyway i could get something similar?

Thank you for reading, and i hope someone could answer my question !

You're out of luck man. It would be a handy feature for them to add.

I've only ever seen this in modo and Blender. Max doesn't have it, I'm afraid

I loved the universal gizmo from Silo... but yeah max doesn't have it

Even Maya's got a universal manipulator. O_o

I vaguely remember that Max's manipulator isn't as exposed as the rest of the software, which would explain why there aren't any gizmo plugins floating around.

I think if you get used to the qwert keys you will be faster than trying to select the correct handle out of that gizmo.

That and lock selection so that it won't matter where you click.

Mostly what i've been using until now, but i still wanted to know if such a tool exist.

Well, thank you everybody for you answers, it's a bit disappointing from such a big software. I guess i will have to stick with the shortcuts .

Nah, multi-gizmo is handier because you set it up once and can do anything.

In Max if you want to jump to local mode, you'd have to take each transform tool,then set it to local space, then do your work. And you still have to find the handles if you switch using shortcut keys...

@Talon: In the Preferences > 'General' tab > 'Ref. Coord. System' > check 'Constant'. This will keep your transform mode the same across all transform tools whenever you switch it.
