Since this is a place where the few remaining sane people in the world reside, I would like to hear if anyone knows of a comprehensible tutorial on the mess Maya calls Extrude?
I have the (almost) simplest scenario which would take all of 10 seconds to do in XSI, but our Maya artists can only do it after 10 minutes of fiddling, and I seem unable to replicate it (the first one gave up(!)) even though I wrote the procedure(!) down. I have a profile curve and a path curve. I want to extrude the profile curve on the path curve, so the resulting geometry is positioned with the path curve down the center spine. This seems like an unsurmountable task in Maya but I just saw it done. What seems to be the case is you (really) have to oblige the Maya way of doing things and yet, following my quickly scribbled notes, this still fails. Either the resulting geometry is not positioned at the path or the cross sections on the geometry is scewed, or both.... I could do it in XSI and be done i 2 minutes, but really want to learn to use Maya for big and small things alike, and thinking many of you have come across this scenario and found out the do's and dont's I was hoping some of you could offer advice or point me to a comprehensible tutorial on the subject. The Maya documentation is as usual almost of no use, and the tutorials I have found don't really seem to cover this scenario - they are usually quite spcific on one particular workflow which does not apply.
