Hey all! So my version of max is acting really wonky all of a sudden. I'll be working on a model (regular poly editing) and I'll select a face, do something like extrude the face out using the "settings" button and then I'll try to deselect the face or select another face and max simply refuses to let me. I can turn…
Hey at least you figured it out! Just remove the space bar hotkey. On a semi-related note, as an animator, the "Lock Key Selection" icon and the "Lock Tangents" icon are exactly the same icon!
I binded this to my spacebar: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=67382 as an animator lock selection can be very useful - for anyone else its a annoying key especially if you have a background in Adobe products or Maya.
Oh crap! I just figured out what the problem was... Feel free to mock me openly... I'm watching a Training DVD on character modeling in VLC in the background. Spacebar is the Pause key in VLC but its also the LOCK key in max, so I was locking my ability to select and deselect objects! Whoops!
