OMG, really? I just watched that video and saw that "workaround" is officially shown without any shame?? Around 10 steps to change the "center", really?? It leaves me speechless and angry again, that this "industry standard" survived and Soft got doomed. A shame Am 14.01.2016 um 11:31

Re: Please explain Maya pivot points to a Softimage thinker

Softimage has a pivot and a center. Maya doesn't have a center concept, only pivot. Well, it actually has 2 pivots: rotation + translation and scale and these pivot positions can be found in your Attribute Editor. These pivots don't have orientation values, only position. Curiously Softimage

Re: Please explain Maya pivot points to a Softimage thinker

It's super useful! There are plenty of times on rigging where you need to keep position fcurves orthogonal to the world/origin (in a way that forward or up is defined by an unique fcurve) while the neutral/bind pose is non-orthogonal (typically IK limbs... but the concept is applicable to

Please explain Maya pivot points to a Softimage thinker

I'm trying to get some objects zero-ed out in Maya but keep running into what I assume is a paradigm difference between how Maya and Soft handle center points and transforms. In Soft, I can move the center/pivot and it will change the transform values. So, I can reset the center to be in the

Re: Please explain Maya pivot points to a Softimage thinker

passed on as "standard" modo errs and so does blender. So either just copycat instead of rationalize it like softimage. "move CENTER to vertices" <- does it gets much clearer than that? Also, the setup idea based on dummies hierarchies, was the solution since 3dsmax DOS was out. So why implement

Re: Please explain Maya pivot points to a Softimage thinker

Thanks for clearing that up. At least I know I'm not doing it wrong. That youtube clip has "the workaround" demonstrated. It's clear that this is just ingrained in the Maya users workflow. I asked a few around me how to do what I needed to do and everyone just looked confused. Needs to have a
