perhaps that’s why they hid the shape tools so well in Maya? From: Chris Johnson Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 4:21 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: maya and blendshapes?

I lost 2 days of work due to that UI "maya feature". wanted to hang myself. the sculpt brushes are good though. and the editor is kinda like xsi's shape manager. it;s even on the frame you create it, so it's not like a weird tangent based off the bind pose.

Sometimes I might need a shape to fix something...a pose or a joint. Grab the Geo save a few shape keys in secondary modeling and done. Even in Max on a rigged character. Add an Edit poly and away you go. This Maya rigger I'm working with gave me this convoluted process to make shapes on the fly...hardly on the fly....I had to take notes! Is there not another way...even if there's a script or plugin? Excuse me but I'm new to the Maya madness. -- Chris Johnson | www.someonescousin.com | 416.473.1624 -- Chris Johnson | www.someonescousin.com | 416.473.1624 -- Chris Johnson | www.someonescousin.com | 416.473.1624
