Re: xsi control in maya
In rotate settings, change rotate center to Selection. Make sure that you activate the modify translation checkbox underneath though, as it will really screw your animation otherwise. Not sure why that's not on by default.

Also, you can hold down d or press edit pivot to change the pivots for the selection.

Re: xsi control in maya
cool thx never seen that before it's only on rotate, and seems like holding d moves the pivot and changes the actual pivot of everything On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 4:49 PM, Matt Morris wrote: > Also, you can hold down d or press edit pivot to change the pivots for the > selection. > > On 14 March 2018 at 23:46, Matt Morris wrote: > >> In rotate settings, change rotate center to Selection. >> >> Make sure that you activate the modify translation checkbox underneath >> though, as it will really screw your animation otherwise.

Re: xsi control in maya
well, with a multiple selection it automatically moves it as a group in translate? The edit pivot button is safer for scaling components/multiple selections, and always reset after. Its not quite as neat as xsi was, but usable.
