What has changed about the UV Unwrap modifier in max5? I keep hearing people claim that it's so much better than previous versions. What exactly did they improve on and how will it make this painful process any easier?

Anyone know why Discreet removed the freeze and hide buttons in the new Unwrap UVW modifier? I used those all the time and now I can't find them. Am I missing something? I can't find the break vertex button either. What's going on? I love all the new features, but I don't know why they would take out old ones.

Thanks.

You can customize the UI, remember? ;)

Ctrl+H is still set to Hide by default.

*Go to Customize UI,
*Select "Unwrap UVW" Group
*Assign keys to whatever you want
*or drag to a Quad Menu if you prefer

Yes, I agree removing buttons (break, weld) was dumb. I've one of the beta versions that still had them. And shortcuts are good and all of that, but I like buttons. Primarily cause I use a tablet. I don't like hold-this-while-clicking-that-bendover-backwards interface.

Okay, I see what they did. They moved those commands to the quad menu. Sheesh. It's not like there isn't room to fit the old buttons in the new layout. Sneaky bastijis.

I thought max has tooooo many buttons. Practically everything has a button. The is button on the top... there is button on the side... there is button on the quad....there is even more buttons for customization! whats up! Would you believe that more than half are not even use? Go figure.

Edit: I think what they need is a good scripting utility that works like a lingo thingy (meaning 1 or 2 lines kind of action for enabling it).
