I dont even know how to move polygons/vertexes/edges smoothly and assign hotkeys for basic tools...

For a basic intro, pull down the help menu in Maya. There are links to tutorials and overviews of Maya's terms and workflow.

To assign hotkeys, pull down Windows>Settings>Hotkeys.

Awwwww, Maya kills me!!

I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to connect edges and i still dont know...

How to have MAYA optimized to a point when you are able to move freearly as in maya modeling tutorials, when the edges/polygons/vertexes are highlighted when you point them?

press F1 for help.

hotkeys......windows>settings/preferences>hotkeys.

RMB (Right Mouse Button) Hold over object and choose component in there or use F9-F12.

connect edges.......Edit Polygons>Split Polygon Tool might be what you need.


components dont highlight when you hold the mouse over them, i believe that is Wings3D and Mirai.
