Hey guys! Just found this post because I was having the same issue (I was looking at a tutorial a new edge loop was suddenly created from others) and I found how it was done, and I think it's a good option in this case (or for someone else who sees this in the future): Insert edge loop with multi cut tool…
I was trying to do something similar, in Adobe software you hit alt and drag, and it duplicates the path/shape/image/etc. I was wondering if there was an equivalent for edges in Maya since I ran into a situation where I manually connected two edge loops and needed to duplicate that single loop rather than repeat the…
if i understand you correctly you can do that with the 'offset edge loop tool'. http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/index.html?url=files/Edit_Mesh__Offset_Edge_Loop_Tool.htm,topicNumber=d30e177986 you can also set the number of divisions when you insert an edge loop, slide, numerical input values etc.…
Hello guys! I created my Polycount profile today and just wanted to start by asking a question in regards to duplicating edges along polygon faces in Maya. In Modo, the slide edge tool also has a duplication feature which allows users to duplicate the selected edge(s) and slide them along the face(s) that they're connected…
Thanks a lot for the info! I gave the offset edge loop tool a try, but I didn't modify any of the tool settings, but it makes sense that I'll find what I'm looking for there. I'll also try turning auto complete off. The divide edge tool is really cool, I could imagine it being quite useful in hardsurface modelling.
ya about the close as you can get is to select the edge ring, than use the insert edge loop tool with "Auto Complete" Turned off. also using the partial edge ring select in maya helps, select where you want the ring to start than select where you want the ring to end, hold control+rmb, and drag down to "Edge Ring…
