Re: 3ds smothing groups / Maya smoothing
Shimmer, edit>delete by type>history. Best thing to do is set it up as a button on the shelf. Im a bit confused about what y'all mean by 'sub' object. Surely anything at the sub object level is what makes up a model? F9 vertex mode F10 edge mode F11 face mode F12 UV mode -

Things in Maya have different names than in Max, so you can't assume that because you can't find the exact feature in Maya that it was "not invented for Maya". Sorry about your shock-factor on using Maya. No, it doesn't need a… -

I don't think there's a single option that checks all that for you. You have to sort of get into the habit of checkin for those things yourself. The thing with Maya is that… -
