Hey Guys
So I'm getting into Maya, and so far it's horrible.
I realize that Maya animators must be more passionate about 3D than me,
because there is no way I would have put up with this shit for the last
10 years.
Rant aside, I was hoping someone could help me make sense of a few things.
1: selecting hierarchies:
I don’t understand why Maya insists on making the whole hierarchy green
when I only select the top node. What is the benefit of this, and can I
turn it off?
I also find that when I select multiple objects in a hierarchy, the
second last thing I selected goes white, but the thing I select stays
green. this makes it hard to tell weather I selected the object or not.
Am I using it wrong?
2: Is there a way to interactively see my frames rendering? I know I can
fcheck or load the rendered frames in aftreFX, but this doesn't help if
my frames takes 20 min a frame.
3: I assume the outliner is there to do what the explorer in soft does,
but half the things in my scene is missing. Is there a comprehensive
scene navigator where I can see everything, like we can in the explorer?
Thanks, I'm going to stop here before I get on the drama-lama.
