mirror camera ???

[kidonge]

is it possible to mirror the camera in maya (max can do a minus scale effectively flipping the camera in view port).
this is good for seeing worked-on-to-much animation in a fresh eye.

Unfortunately no. scaling the - does make camera moves flip tough! (nice joke for cowrokers)

Workaround playblast and flip it in your player!

Workaround 2 make a 3 groups that parente everything and are parentted under camera and scale evberything else to camers mirror

wrokaround 3 flip your monitor signal. theres actualy a way to only do theois for aprt of the screen somehow too.

Im a fraid switching is painfull, not because the progs have different capabilities so much but rather that you need to redesign your ebtire workflow whhen you switch an app (i did start with max and it took me 1 year to switch to maya before i saw its realy strong points well).

What is a good working habit in maxc is not agood working habit in maya necceserily, you need to follow maya workflow in maya and maxs in max. Quite frankly this is the reason i can never get my head whan working with max anymore, it just feels so clumsy (even tough it has some gems in its workflow maya jsut has more)

yeah i do agree each prog has its own work flows and maya does 'seem' a little more complete....but boy....who designed the user interface...! i have a kilometer list of all the really sutpid simply things that make me just wonder 'why'.....or more the case 'why not'!

thanks for your answers people.

Actualy the ui is the best one ive ever seen... ITs a bit wierrd a t first. And no it wasnt designed to look good, its was just designed to be efficient. (for example ypou cont realy look at amerking menus because after a awhile you have picked the stuff before the computer een has time to draw the stuff on screen, it grows on ytou making ait wry fast to use)

Its just a bt ellusive, becaue youve never seen a aui like this before, theres a lot to it. I just wish more progs could have a ui more like mayas than there are.
