Complex UV Layout in Maya

Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Afaik, there is no direct equivalent. So far I have not missed that feature from max. Maya has so many other powerful tools like the sculpt tools, clusters, deformers and so on...

Modify > Transformation Tools > Proportional Modification Tool. This probably isn't quite as intuitive as the Max version... you'll more than likely want to check out the options and experiment.

Good luck. user added image
