Originally posted by Ozgalis I use Maya 8 so im not sure what the hot keys for that are, 1 2 and 3 are smoothers for nurbs i believe. I will have to look around and see if I find something for those, thanks I didnt know that doing proxy mode gave it a transparency. As for GecT thanks i ended up just changing the transparency for it, figured that was a little easier then giving it a new material. I don't believe the 1,2,3 hotkeys for smoothing work on polys in 8.0. And the "Lambert1" wouldn't really be a new material, it's actually the default material. Right click object>Assign Existing material>lambert1. Instead of having to fiddle with two shaders that look the same.
