I've been following some Digital Tutors tutorials, which show I should be able to open a web browser through my Panels window, but for some reason that option is not available to me. I have Maya 8, so it should be there, right? Can anyone offer some help?

Autodesk removed the Web Browser function in Maya 8. IT only exists in Maya 7 and below. I do not know if it will be in Maya 8.5

Thanks for the quick response. I wonder why they removed it, it's so handy when following a tutorial.

lol they actually removed an option? maybe they shoulda called it maya 6.9 then (since it was lacking options 7.0 had and didn't really add anything useful)

Can't believe you didnt know Neo...

There was a post on here about it being removed, loadsa guys were shouting how poor it was for them to remove one of the more useful features.

eh, i've got 7 and had no plans of moving forward... plus, instead of using the built-in web browser, i have no problems with alt+tab and using firefox user added image

oh and most of the threads about the new versions i don't really read past the first 5 posts or so cause they either go off tangent or become rant sessions... so i don't really find them useful - and therefore, i tend to ignore them.
