Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Ctrl+Z doesn't work as you might expect in Maya. It seems that 1 click or 1 option change may produce series of commands and Ctrl+Z reverts only the last one, so in consequence you may have to do it several times to go back where you need. Artur 2018-04-18 11:10 GMT+02:00 David Saber : > Okay I

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

What I gathered about Maya so far is that every function in one way or another leads to a hotkey Alt+F4 (the fast option). Also, when it crashes, I noticed it is faster to kill the process then wait for all the notifiers to appear (your maya crashed window x 9000). A tip for you'all. Artur 2018-0
