Ok on the top left where you choose like modeling/rendering and stuff, well modeling isnt there. I have Animation/Polygons/Surfaces/Dynamics/Rendering and Cloth. Well I went to customize option and Modeling isn't there. On some tutorials I watched it shows them in modeling option and using those settings up top. I would like to know how to get this to appear because you can smooth polygons really easily.

Thanks! :attn:

Sorry to double post but the only thing I need to find which I dont in polygons sections is Polygons>smooth. I didnt find it anywhere not in edit mesh or anything.

maya 8 doesnt have a modeling menu

instead it splits it into the Polygons and surfaces menus....

so if you are modeling polygons, anything your looking for is in the polygons menu..

i know, however that all the menus and submenus are rearranged. so you might wanna learn the interface before doing tutorials... but that might just be me ^_^'

oh, and smooth is in Mesh>smooth lol

i was considering getting maya 8 but there was no reason for me since i only do this for fun and in my spare time... also if you didnt know, the hotkey for "modeling pull down menu" is F3 in the older maya's .. well it looks like you worked it out, soo cool .. user added image
