Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Select faces. Question:

This is gonna probably make me sound SO dumb...How do I change from selecting a face by clicking anywhere on it back to using the dot in the center. I seem to remember being able to change on an earlier version of Maya. (possibly 8) I'm currently using 2012, but I will be rolling back to at least 2010 as I hate looking at that dark grey "Apple" look.

Ahhh. I was looking in the wrong place. I was sure there was an option over on the left, where the tool icons are. I tried right-clicking the select tool. Anyway, it's sorted now, but doing it never felt familiar, even though I know I've changed it before. Wonder if there used to be a different way of doing that, or if I just don't rememeber...
