Maya Extrude (Offset)
Hello,
I've been having trouble lately with Maya, as I have come across a problem I cannot seem to find a - comfortable - solution to. I found this image from another thread, and I want to present it here:
On the left we have the 3ds max 'inset' function at play, which in essence is the effect which I want to replicate onto my mesh in Maya. However, I cannot seem to find viable options to replicate this function (offset, as seen above, creates pinches in concave areas.)
When I mentioned the solution being comfortable, I did not mean removing edges, extruding, then connecting again, or extruding with offset and moving the vertices manually one by one. I would be grateful if anyone could give me insight to a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Andr

If you're using an older version of Maya, I recommend this plugin which copies 3dsmax's inset behaviour, it's also nice because it's fully interactive, like in Max:
