Hidden Features and Secrets in Maya 

Hey guys! In this Maya modeling tutorial, we will talk about various tips and tricks and the features that can speed up our modeling workflow. Hope you enjoyed the video. Until next time, Mario

One thing to note about your first tip (- and + to change manipulator size) is that it also changes your accuracy while manually transforming objects. The bigger the manipulator, the finer control you will get with your mouse. If you are trying to move, rotate or scale something and find that the controls are too twitchy or that they are skipping some increments, try pressing "+" a couple of times. In the later case, also check that you don't have "step snap" enabled in tool settings, heh.

A lot of these are so underrated and I wish more people knew about this kinda stuff. Another good one I see people not utilizing is drag select instead of marque - hold tab to drag over face, verts, edges and it will only be a camera based selection on things your cursor hovers over.

omg....watching it one more time (in two years, i think) and very happy of it usefulness!!! Thank you very much!!!

The Insert Edge Loop tool (around 9:00) is brilliant

One of the most informative channels I've ever found, your voice, these tips, I love it!

The things like controlling subdivision level and bending controls are just mindblowing! Thank you so much :D

4:25 thank you, it will save me hundreds of hours. Thanks for all the tips!

As a new student of 3d modelling. This is superb and strongfully helpful! If only I had enough money to join your course xD

That extrude trick around 11:50 is amazing!

This video is insanely useful! Thank you so much for this type of videos.

This is the best to the point tips and tricks video ever. Keep it up. Id love to see some tips on working with sub-d modelling and reducing unnecessary edges for optimisation purposes.

That normal scaling is pretty neat. Always thought the pie menu was really fast but then your trick is just so conveniant

I've just recently discovered your videos and I have a bit of a request. This is something I can't find a video on anywhere but it would be awesome if you would consider doing a video on how to create hotkeys in maya. And I don't mean just the standard way. I mean how to hotkey anything. For instance at 5:25 this option for Toggling Selection Highlighting, can't find it in the hotkey editor at all. There are a lot of weird items in maya that are a pain if not impossible to create hotkeys for (topological symmetry comes to mind). Keep up the great work!

Superb content on your channel 👍

9:32 important

Very helpful

Half of these I knew about already, but the other half I was holding my head screaming "FUCKING MAGIC MANG".

The tutorial that I needed, thank you!

Can you try blender and suggest to us what it needs? this is a question for the behalf of software improvement :)

Thanks dude!! Nice tip!

Can you do something that shows how to make a screw or something with threads? You seem to really know maya very well. i love your teaching style.

Very very very useful video!Thanks!

some good ones! nicely done.

Realy cool handy features! Thx a bunch!

Fantastic

Thank you for video! Very usefull for me, because i'm just begining to figure out in Maya!:)

NIce tips! Love it! Looking for the next one

Thanks

thank you sir

it's just amazing, simply amazing.

!! ALT+Z I thought this kind of feature exists in parallel universes only ))) Thanks!

thank you

Just pressing "H" allows for hiding and showing the objects - even faster than using ctrl or shift h

Gracias Mario!

Thanks! This is super usefull

13:55 default is not T, at least not in maya 2022 (idk what it is)

So nice viewport settings O.O i have hotkeys for 4 types for edge loop. Multi Cut, insert looptool, polyConnectComponents and connect from modeling toolkit) They r all useful insert loop tool use for equal loops. poly connect connecting selected vertexes and selected edges middle points. connect from modeling tools best way for multi edge connect. And i have hotkeys for converting vertex-edges-polygons(just easiest way select pole polygons, select 1 mid vertex, convert to poly). And i have hotkeys for loop and ring select coz u can select start and end loop ing edges. Hold tab give u a marker select mode, this useful too.(but i have hotkey for switch without holding). Maybe it will be useful for you

very useful video. I can't find auto complete option.

hi, can u show your color settiings? I want as you have ) thanks )

JOO thats noice, i learned a lot thx!

Amazing! Thank you so much ❤️👌

Hi nice tips! Another thing, could you upload your custom ui? with that colors and eveything, it looks so stylish

its wonderful.

mind=blown Really nice video!

do you use a pen display or pen graphic tablet when modeling ?

Do you ever think you'll do a series for Blender? 👀

Thanks as always!

13:34 does this work in Maya 2020. I wasn't able to do it. It moved my object everywhere rather than scaling it.

02:10 Do you know of a way to get this rate control for options in Attribute Editor?

your maya looks different from most other configs that i see. what did you do to it?

👍

12:00

go to wallacea

I already know like 70% of what was in this video, still I'm just a noob.

Thank you for sharing this to us, I learned a lot! :)
