stancil in maya !?

[alexx]

the MEL to invoke the stencil for what you are looking for is the following..

just copy in your script editor and run with the objects selected:


string $t1 = "l";
string $t2 = "H";
$t2 += "e" + $t1;
eval ($t2+"p");


cheers

You can also do it by this way, an animated boolean:

1. Create a poly cube and a poly cylinder so that they overlap.
2. Select the cube and then the cylinder.
3. Select Polygons > Booleans > Difference.
You´ve made a cylinder like hole in the cube.
4. Now open the Outliner and select the pCylinder.
5. In the viewport you can see the manipulator to an invisible cylinder. You can now animate it´s position to change the hole.
- You must have History turned on to do this.
