In this tutorial we shall learn how to use selection mask remaining in Maya 2012 . First of all find out selection mask file and open it in Maya. You are seeing in this scene that the current model given in this tutorial is created with the help of different object setup. Here in this project NURBs primitives, polygonal primitives are together used along with lighting affects and some particle affects. The scene is already created and when we play the animation, the scene creates such situation as shown in this video. When we use selection mask, more options appear on the shelf menu. The object setup in this scene is still little bit confusing, so instead of editing we can use selection tool for separate setting of each torus. At this time you can’t select the particle affects in the scene.
They can only be managed or edit from selection mask. In this scene we can not disable my surface selection but polygonal selection can be managed from here.
There are more options given in the drop down list of this selection mask which allows you to enable or disable the selection. If we right click on the given model, there appear lots of options for object modification on left and right sides separately. We can manage the scene from these options. Watch this video tutorial holding selection mask setup, so get help from this video tutorial.
