You sure you entered the right door? ;)

..lol.

Perhaps it's more extreme in games then. The developers I work for has about 100 employees, and the female contingent is me and the receptionist...

wow, must be fun on u. A lot of compition must be going on to see who can get ur attention. lol have fun!

after all - girl
 

i'm a girl too and in trouble.....
can some of you strong and bright guys tell me how can i get marking menu so i can start ControlVertex. i'm new to maya, just started, and she puts me right through hell...
help.....
please....
note: i have eMac, 10.4.5, and original mouse. that means that my right click is ctrl+mouse and i do not have middle button.

U need 3ds max, lol. Sorry I'm don't do too much Maya Im more for max. I'd help if I could.

if right click is not an option:

Press F8

Enable and Disable the applicable component type at the top of the UI. For CVs, you'd want Points enabled.

edit:

Macs do have the function keys (like F8) right? lol

Re: after all - girl
 

F8 = Object mode (or last used component if you're already in OM)
F9 = CV's
F10 = Edges
F11 = Faces
F12 = UV's

That's how if goes for polys, as far as I remember, and I think it's basically the same for sub-d's, but I'm not sure :)

You should consider getting a 3-button mouse though...

tnx, guys..
i did some research on my own. it turned out that i can make my own hotkeys. so i did it. thing that confused me was that in tutorial was written like that marking menu is made in default. it isn't working in my Maya.
about three buttons mouse: i've tried it but with same resault.
i just got mac and i love everything abut it. mouse, too. i'm just trying to get by with original mouse. when i earn some extra money, i'll buy myself power mouse so everything will be shining and working.:attn:

Wow, my first post here and my secret burning question, all within 15 minutes of becoming a member! I'm a girl. Uber noob, but a girl nonetheless. I worked in a film lab for years and moved from old school optical printing and fx to becoming obsessed with Maya! I was the only girl I knew in the country who worked as a professional optical printer. Glad to see there are at least a few more here! ;) I've been wondering how many there are!

I'm no girl, but after seeing me getting started with maya my girlfriend is getting hooked on it as well, hehe

she will obviously be better than you.

lol, not yet but she's working on it :D

13th_resident are you from kassel?

I am a new girl to Maya and this forum. We seem to be a minority on here for sure.

From what I have seen/read so far (which is every thread posted, all the WIPs and competition entries) we have a lot of catching up to do. We have a HUGE road ahead of us to compete with the big boys :)

Maybe one day our work can be posted on here and look as good (if not better) than theirs

See you around the forums.

Trin :blush:

haha good luck! Im not a maya freak but I'll check out what u girls can do.
