Hi list,
I'm having some weird aspect issues rendering from Orthographic camera.
Firstly, is it wise to render from this camera?
Second, I'm rendering a format of 4096x808 with aspect ratio set to 5.0693.
There are animation keyframes on the camera's local rotation, position and
FOV angle.

When you say the settings are default - that may be your problem. The
default delta settings are way too open. If you untick save changes to
mixer in the delta, and clean out any saved references to it in the delta,
it should respect that.
Are you sure you're not changing to Raycast Polygon mode? I can't repro
that.
If you use the options inside the Select Menu / Modes it will change the
selection mode and selection tool to whatever you are selecting. So if you
are using this option and select Raycast Polygon your tool will be a

my mail appears a week later from send date.
I was thinking about this thing. Two split edges connected with a simple

because I don't know how to get the new edges created by the first split.
Any idea how to get the edges that are below or above the split edge?

I'm really really not doing this manually. It happens when I hit F11
to go into Polygon selection mode (Maya keyboard layout).
I wish I could do a screen capture for you guys.

No need for a screen capture, I believe you.
F11 calls the SetPolygonSelectionFilter command.
SetPolygonSelectionFilter changes the selection mode to raycast.

For some reason Maya keyboard layout F11 doesn't use the same command as

Thanks a lot guys! Set Reference Pose fixed it. I'm not sure how the
pose could have changed, since as I said, these nulls are created by
a script, and they are cluster constrained to a mesh, so I would not
be able to move them. Anyway, the problem seems to be gone. Great!

Out of curiosity, what bad things can happen from neutral poses on
meshes and deformers? Skinning uses the global xfo for calculations so
the neutral pose has no affect on that.

There is no a shortcut for point raycast. You'd need to set the raycast tool
and the point filter separately, or create a command that does both.

The only reason that anyone should use the Maya layout is for animation in
my opinion. Keying tools are at your finger tips then. For normal day to

the way to go.

I personally stick with XSI's interaction/hotkeys when animating also.
I just switched the functions of K with D (and their combos, shift+K,
alt+K) since duplicate tool (D) I rarely if ever use it.

About Paint Selection, is there any way to know that Paint Selection is
activated so I can write a toggle button?
I like paint selection for some things like symmetry selection, or slowly
making a big selection.
When I'm modeling I need to select and deselect very quickly all the time,
and paint
Yeah but the good thing with a lasso is that I only use 1 key when
selecting and moving points and edges : lasso, move, select, move.
And if the point is not easily selectable, back again to lasso, select and
move.
That's why I don't use paint select for these tasks, I need to press too
many keys.
