Bandsawing is cool in LW, but are there Bandsaw plugins or MELs for Maya? :rolleyes:

gmask's right: as of 4.5 or 4.0 they have included the Cut Faces Tool - Modeling mode > Edit Polygons > Cut Faces Tool

if i remember right from lightwave, what aeroplane really wants is something more like MJPolyTools. ring select and then edge loop split.

or in wings ring select and then connect

MJPolyTools there's a MutliLoopSplit which can achieve similiar effects

MJPolytools is great. You can actually work on a single edge level, or just select two and connect those, instead of it driving a cut through the whole loop. It's a lot like Meshtools for Max... A must have.

I've tried MJPT for Max, but it crashed Max quite often, and seemed to of gotten rid of undos. Actually Meshtools, I think, gets rid of undos too. It might have been crashing because I was using the quads at the time. Which is a big no, no. Quads are a useless feature in Max 4...
