You can do something like this vimeo.com/26875733 but attach your shape instead of camera and use array or sweep a shape along the path, although a procedural approach would probably be best. Sorry I can't be more helpful, haven't used Modo in a couple years, been using Blender.

Absolutely, you can unwrap shells by any method then pin or hide them so they aren't affected by the next tool you run.

Unfortunately, when you change a hotkey like that it can be very disruptive in Modo and you begin to have to "go down the rabbit hole" fixing conflicting hotkeys as you go. Alternatively, you can accept the lost functionalities that come from changing a key like this. Using one of their premade navigation input mapping presets from the preference is the path of least resistance, and in your case the 3DS Max preset may be the best option. I can tell you from years of keymap customizing that it can be exhausting deviating from major defaults. So much so that after 4 months of learning and using Blender with a custom keyset to navigate like Maya and main tool keys (QWER), I forced myself to return to default Blender navigation and tools because of the very problem you're dealing with. It is less difficult than you think to adopt a new paradigm, just a short period of discomfort, but the software will behave much better and as intended and you may end up preferring some of the keys etc. in the end. Try one of the nav presets (I use the "Maya Navigation" preset in Modo) and you can try to force it like you have, but I have found it is often more trouble than it is worth to force an app to behave like another program.

@@derekedwards9351 thnx Mate, after a couple hours with modo i decided to go with blender instead as a modeling tool in conjunction with c4d, i wanted to have a seamless workflow between the two and it seems i can keyshorts wise, regardless im surprised by the modeling tools and addons in blender, adding pie menus to that you really can't go wrong, much appreciation.

Hey thanks! I find them helpful to refer back to myself.

You have to split the torus in half first. Select half the verts of the torus and split them with Y before using push. Or, bevel the center line into 2 then select half and push them apart.

@@derekedwards9351 thank you!!

Thanks Jason! I really appreciate the feedback. Working on an awesome, much larger series right now that I'm very excited to share. We'll be doing a AAA game asset start to finish using my entire production workflow that leverages Modos round edge shader. I'll look into the missing search data and see what the disconnect is so that my content is more easily found, thanks for the heads up!

Servers are fixed at the moment, but good stability may be out of reach for our meager budget. This is why we need everyone to support us by voting YES for our Steam Greenlight campaign! That removes our hardware issues and our goal is to keep the game free to play.
