im a newb comin from max. from what i see, its pretty nice, the workflow is really nice. i have one small question: in max there is a simple way of instancing and mirroring an object. i.e. mirroring a box for creating a head, so the other half mirrors everything u do to the first half.

not i kno u can scale the object -1 in maya, but this seems a little primative. is there no scipt or tool that does this?

thanks

that's raw - not primitive - and there are a lot of scripts for mirroring and stuff on highend3d.com

the old line come to mind "if its not broken, dont try to fix it"

What you are looking for is under the polygons menu....but the method of duplicate as an instance and scale it -1 is really the easiest and least complicated method....if you use proxy mesh...you can even duplicat an instance of the smoothed proxy and -1 scale it...model on the low poly cage half and watch the hi res full version update in realtime...
