Yeah, Connect in Maya 2011 is pretty much the same as Connect in Max, ie. it works on verts/edges/faces simultaneously (context sensitive), although as Ark says I don't think it can do a "multi connect" through edges/faces (eg. add 3 edge loops). Then again I never really used that "multi" functionality of Connect in Max,…
The connect tool was added in maya 2011 but there have been scripts floating around for a while that do the same thing. The connect tool in maya 2011 allows you to connect through edges and verts at the same time I'm guessing that's the same as max? I'm still using the solid chamfer from Byron it basically makes mechanical…
Yeah they added a connect tool in one of the recent versions. Still pretty useless as it's limited to one segment and theres no built in slide/pinch like max.
good sir, are you trying to imply that maya has had a 'connect' tool AKA the thing i can't live without added to it's toolset recently? that would be amazing! unless, of course it's about as slow and unpredictable as that MJPolytools thingie. :) i tried BPT briefly in maya 2009/10 32 bits a while ago and it crashed left,…
Actually it was Maya 4.5 I think. Originally BPT cost like $20 or something, and afaik their was never a non-encrypted version released so its functions never ended up in other scripts or part of Mayas core toolset. I think rebb is right about this, I've noticed that AD tends to convert and integrate alot of functions from…
Okay I've been using these scripts for a couple days on maya 2010 x64 not sure how they perform on any other system. 1. Turning off autoswitch component masks seems to fix a lot of my crashes I think? 2. Using undo after doing a solid chamfer is almost always going to crash, if not during the undo then as soon as you do…
