Re: Maya's "Select by element" equivalent in max ?
>>WARNING INCOMING WALL O TEXT<< Reading this post may induce bleeding of the eyes. yiannisk, if you don't like reading walls of text you shouldn't post them. There is so much there to go over its hard to hit it all but I will try. This would be because you only ever really use max and don't question its authority over… -

Wall O Text crits you for 0hp. I see your wall of text, and raise one of my own. It takes you many a sentence to reverse your stance, but I'm glad its happening. 15 years of max experience, impressive. In another 15 years of Maya experience you'll be qualified to compare the two packages fully. We can probably discuss… -

@ Mop, I'm actually wondering how useful this is, to be able to select uv shells etc. I can do this in XSI but coming from Max I haven't found it to be such a big deal. Can you tell me how you make use of this? Oh I get it's annoying to have to add an unwrap to a model, edit the uvs. Mop I just read your post LOL... If I… -
Re: Maya's "Select by element" equivalent in max ?
Oh if i had placed specific examples it would be much longer post. Observe and feel free to split the conversation to some other thread because I think we highjacked this nice thread here but i think that everyone will learn something out of it :) at least some 3dsmax\maya tips for those who are unaware of their existence.…
