The main thing about Maya that still bugs me even now, is it lacks some of the most useful things that have become well known tools inside Blender, such things are a thing called Modifiers, such useful modifiers Blender has that Maya could benefit from is a..
Subdivision Surface, this basically work the same was as Mayas Smooth, /Smooth mesh, but unlike Maya's Smooth view that doesn't render at times if its not set up, or that when you apply a Smooth node you cant go backwards, unless its added at the very end.
the top image shows the model (Elder Brother) without the SS modifier on, the one under it has it active with level 2. the polygon display is the same tho its polygon count has quadrupedal
But here is a small area that people might like in Maya unless i'm missing it or rigging wrongly. is a pose [Copy and mirror past].. meaning you can Copy the current pose for a controller, say the foot. select and copy, then select the other left and past, the mirror past would take the local location in relation the the models center point and past it accordingly with a negative value. now this is where it gets annoying in Maya,, i know most bones you can do this with, but in Maya there is this HUGE annoying problem where when you make the rig you have to mirror the bones over, this create the pones with a negative value, and when you add controllers to said bones they also need to rotate in a negative value..
They is one thing, the only real thing i don't understand with Maya, and that's, whats the point with the History? it serves no purpose other then to bog down the scene and break the model if you try to change any one of the nodes...that and the fact you always have to freeze transformations and delete the history otherwise things like UV mapping, Rigging, and simulations becomes rather buggy... i really don't see a reason it needs to be there, its not like the History nodes can even be used for anything.... needless to say back in Blender it doesn't used History nods, any edit you make is set, (well you have 100 Undo's) so you don't get any unexpected errors...
Iam very impressive your site gives the best and the most interesting information. This is just the kind of information that i had been looking for, i'm already your rss reader now and i would regularly watch out for the new posts, once again hats off to you..
