hey guys.. just checkout the cool new tweak tool in maya...its really nice:D...will be really great if such feature can somehow be implemented in max too...

i turn transform gizmo off and in screen mode (ref co0ordinate sysstem) to get something simillar to tweak tool..but the automatic sub-object detection is just great...wish that could somehow be possible in max..

hope anyone breaks this door...:hmm:

Maybe you could explain what this tool does for those who don't have maya installed?

Note that that's the 2008 Extension 2 featureset - might have improved further in 2009

when tweak mode is enabled, while dragging your mouse over a single subobject (vertex, edge or face) you can move it around...u dont have to select it or anything...u dont have to keep changing the sub object mode everytime...quite handy..

In editable poly, Preview Selection/Multi. That will get you want you want. Been there for a while. Maya got it from Max;)

Well there is no built in tool for it in 9, so no is the simple answer. I don't now of any plugin that allows it either. It could be possible to script but I'm going to guess there are not to many people that are going to write a script for a tool that now exists.

And XSI got it from Wings3D... who probably got it from Nendo.. and it has probably been in Mirai forever (not sure about that though)....
