This...



...freakin wheel, caused me so much confusion and turmoil I almost wanted to divorce Maya. Basically something I thought would be fun and easy turned into the exact opposite of those two words. Mostly it was just down to my ignorance of the software, but there were a few things that were just plain infuriating, like the interactive split tool sometimes working and sometime not, and a clipping plane that wouldn't let me get right up close for detail work. I also didn't realize that when you make a disk, you have to drag it out and delete the sides and unwanted cap or else you will be working with a doubled up poly turd. But that's all done now and I've calmed down. I learned from those things.





And the whole time I had that previously modeled Lightwave wheel teasing me saying, "go ahead, use me, you know you want to." Glad this website exists, I doubt I could keep going without it.
