Maya-Style Tools and Selection Mode Aware Features for Blender

4 ratings

The goal of this add-on is to add more Maya-like features to Blender beyond those found in the Industry Compatible Mode keymap. So far it affects Bevel, Extrude, Delete, Viewport Selection Highlighting and Pivot Moving.

The add-on preferences include hotkey adjustments, defaults are set to match maya, there are also options for adjusting the behavior of some of the features.

The add-on's extrude feature will function like so:

1) Vertex mode = extrude only vertices and move

2) Edge Mode = extrude only edges and move

3) Face Mode = Choose between extrude region and shrink/fatten ("keep faces together" on in maya) or extrude individual faces and move ("keep faces together" off in maya) based on what you have selected in the tool's sidebar menu that is visible in edit mode

There is an option to have extrude show the transform tool with gizmos like in Maya that you can toggle on or off in the preferences.


It's bevel will function like this:

1) Vertex mode = Bevel vertices

2) Edge mode = Bevel edges

3) Face mode = Bevel edges

And it's delete will delete only the specific component type whose selection mode you are in.

The new method for editing pivots that mimics Maya's will let you either press and hold a key to do so, or press it to toggle, based on the preference selection (default is D, like Maya, if you change it, you must edit both Move pivot keymap entries for it to function properly and ensure they are on the same key).

If you have any suggestions about additions to this add-on, or want to report any bugs, please contact me on twitter @SkyeSharkie.

The portion that adjusts what is highlighted was contributed to by @DanielBellian on twitter, his original code can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V0tnVim-ck
