Does anyone who uses Maya know if there is a way to align vertices?

You can snap vertices by holding down the V key while moving them, so select your vert and hold v and snap it along whatever axis you need to allign. Alternatively there are a bunch of allign options in the modify menu


Also there is a symmetry modifier in mAx is there the equivalent for that in Maya?


I'm assuming you mean modeling symmetry?

Edit > Duplicate Special Options > selct instance instead of copy and type -1 in the X scale box (the first one)

Now when you select an object and press Ctrl+shift+D and you will get a mirrored copy

Also is there a way to rename your custom icons in your created shelf?

Window > Settings and preferences > Shelf Editor

Also how do you change the background color of your render in Maya instead of being black

Open your outliner (window > Outliner)
Now select the camera you are rendering from in the outliner window and open the attrbute editor. One of the attribute drop down menus is called environment, collapse it and you can set a colour


The render setup question is kinda vague, what is wrong with your current renders? what are you rendering? what renderer are you using?
