Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

parent transform to vertex?

is it possible to parent or point/orient constrain a transformNode to a single vertex of another node?


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

by what you just mentioned you may want to try useing clusters. (animation>deform> create cluster) A cluster has its own transforms rotations values so you can move the vertex by moving its cluster. giving you that level of control.

clusters also work on SubDivs and Nurbs surfaces in the same way.
