which aov will be rendered place your environment, lens shaders and so

Thank you for sharing Cesar,
There are some interesting improvements there, but it still looks like
you're dealing with Maya's goofy single-bone-at-a-time-mask-style

Hey guys,
A couple of you mentioned 'really contextual menus' (see Aliastair's number 3
below).
Can you explain what's missing for you in Maya in this regard?
Thanks,

For modeling proposes with nex it's actually not bad at all, though you do
have to memorise more tricks and steps than you would with soft, and a
handful more clicks.
My comments are solely regarding the centre manipulation, something that

Harder than that, the equivalent would be to select all components, move
and rotate them numerically, then figure out the reciprocal transform of
what you just did and apply it to the object's transform.
