Here are some of my favorite Maya hotkeys. Most stuff is crammed around QWER so I don't have to move my hand very far, very often: * Alt + D : Delete history (on selected object only) * Shift + Q : Toggle Wireframe on Shaded * Ctrl + Q : Toggle Selection Highlighting * Alt + Q : Delete most recent construction history…
I'm a 3dsMax user but my company is using Maya for the project~ I'm not much familiar with Maya due to this sudden but I try to research as much as I can~ After discuss with my friend (Maya user), here's the different between both software~ Please inform me if something was wrong or had a better solution, thank you~ ^^…

The main drawback of asset packs and material libraries is that they cover too small square area like 2x2 m and designed for tiny texel size. Those materials are just flat snapshots, no way to change details distribution or re-composite easily . Also you lose a way to do any conscious art selection what key things to show…
I use Alt+w/e/r to reset values to 0 in my controllers. Inspired by Blender's alt+transform shortcuts. This works either by selection or current character set (which is default with no selection). This is very helpful when moving things around and to reset things back to default. Very useful for both rigging and animation.…
I know theirs a few, I'll see if I can dig them up later. till then here's some of my notes from when I was learning it, some of it may be off but I've tried to update it to some degree (incoming wall of text): MAYA Notes Basics Menu names: 1st down (menu type) = Status line 2nd down (Tabs) = Shelf Left = Toolbox Spacebar…
i think I've tried that one and I couldn't get it to behave correctly sometimes because of the way it looks up rotation. Give that shot first, though. if not, I tested my quick script on constrained hierarchical things with animation I didn't add a gui though, so it just fully aligns to rotation and position. So hopefully…
Thank you very much for your reply!! I am so excited!! I tried this, but you create folders by selecting multiple subtools after you have already colored them. I have tried your plugin, it seems that it does not support color giving when multiple subtools are Selected, because after I have selected several subtools,…
Hey guys, Since I was getting some feedback in the other thread, I thought I'd better move my questions into a new one to avoid clutter. Question 1: With the Absolute/Relative type-in transform fields (far right of the Status Line by default), it doesn't display the values of the current selection. For example if I select…
