I am having an issue with maya that when my persp camera is placed near an object it cannot select that object and instead selects an object behind it. It works however if there are no other objects behind it. This is a problem though when working on small detail meshes. The problem is resolved when I enable camera based…
It's rant time! :P Try this in Maya, any version will do: I know that selection behaviour in Maya is acclaimed by many users but I don't get it... It all feels nice and responsive but! Some faces can't be selected even if your cursor is right over them :O Maya tries to be smart and selects the faces slanted towards the…
Is it possible to select only the current surface when using the lasso mask tool ? As it is now for me it selects the current surface and everything behind it.
In 3dsmax does anyone know of a script/process to select all the verts (in Edit Envelopes mode)that have weight to your selected bone? I use Skin Wrap alot and there are situations where either 1) I don't need a bone and it gets a bunch of verts assigned to it and/or 2) Verts are weighted to bones they are not supposed to.…
for example, start with a simply cylinder and turn on the polyframe, I want to select every other row of a cylinder(every odd row or even row), I played with lasso select a bit but it seems to behave quite randomly, how to make such a multi selection in ZBrush?

It involves expanding an all layers flood fill selection. When I select the layers, most of the Modify menu is grayed out. I understand how it should work, and can…
I thought this would be easy, but I was totally wrong. Is there a way to get a ring of faces in mel, I figured out how to get an edge ring, but not a face ring. Pickwalk can do it, but that requires the user to select two faces where I only want the user to have to select one.
Hi, I've just started learning this software and I'm trying to do something extremely basic: Scale my selected faces from the center of the selection. But it's putting the pivot only ON one of the selected objects and moves between them when I mouse over. Please tell me I don't need a script to do this as well :poly142:…
I've created a script which takes the user's selection and selects an edge pattern based on the how many edges they currently have selected. For example if they select 3 edges in a ring it will select the entire ring and leave a gap of 3 and then select the next 3, etc. I'd like to extend the script to work on faces, but I…
