That's amazing how poor seems to be maya when I read you guys.
Fortunatly, I should never have to use it.
I'm edititing very fast some subd hard surface here, the pivot is
dancing in every diretion, snaping where it has to, aligning on the fly
with whatever i ask at the speed of light though,
Great Olivier, Softimage flow!

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
Maya does differently at a fairly low level to begin with,
How many of you are utterly shocked at how LITTLE anyone at all from
Autodesk seems to know about Softimage it's capabilities?
It's almost like they bought it never opened it (regardless of which Marc
was in charge).

In my opinion this post is exactly what the other recent posts on the

getting pushed back off topic and turns into a hate-fest are all about.

I'm in the same boat. It's this small stuff that we're all going to

those for me. :\ Going to be difficult.

People that haven't used Maya that much don't realize how useful that n
SI feature was because they though it was so basic that they assumed every
DCC had it. Center is one of those.
At first, I though that Maya's Pivot was the equivalent to SI Center and
Pivot. It may take you a while to realize

Yeah that is something that I do very often as well.

And using the TAB key for quickly moving the pivot around for snapping,
moving stuff around is a no-brainer.

I think the key thing with something like this is that Centre mode isn't
something that's used for a specific, single problem - say you implemented
a 'Match Centre to Object' button in Maya, that would only solve that
single workflow I mentioned earlier.

Trying to look at this from a high-level non-TD user perspective...
In Soft, whether it was intentional design or just fell out of the toolset
that evolved, any geometrical object (not using the word in the programming
sense) has, through centers, pivots, reference planes, neutral poses,

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.
Center mode is also not equivalent or obsoleted by neutral poses, nor it's
equated by Maya's
