Welcome to Maya's world, great choice :beer:

I´ve some qustions:
Is possible to select vertex like in max - by softselection?
More than that, Maya has many unlimited poly/vertex tools :scream:

Is possible to make in raytrace- reflection distance(like in max)?
Of course :cool:

ops:)

I know how to use raytrace in Maya, but how can I get more options for distance of reflect? I mean maximum distance in scene for reflection on object..

max users knows what I mean:)

1. Create a new material for your object (like lambert1 or something)
2. Open Raytrace Options
3. Turn on Refractions

Then you'll be able to set :

- Refractive Index
- Refraction Limit (this is the reflection distance, like Max)
- Transluence Depth
- Light Absorbance
- Surface Thickness
- Shadow Attentuation

For more raytrace option with Maya, you should use Maya with Mental Ray :)
