First and foremost, this isn't a Max vs. Maya post so keep reading please. I like both programs, somewhat... Aight, so i'm dying a little here I need to know how to do 'X' in maya that i'd normally do in Max. I've searched and searched, but when there's a colossal fuck tonne of posts about maya pre like 2005 it gets hard…
Hello! Along the way within personal modelling adventures I have come to love the "Create Shape From Selection" Tool within 3DS Max.
