Righteo folks, I've been slowly working through the McLaren tut as time allows.

I've had no real problems so far, but can someone explain to me the details of the shear tool? I get the concept of what shearing is, no problem, but I noticed there are a lot more controls to this puppy than the basic term 'shear' really caters for.

The tool has come up a couple of times iin this tut (I am at 26mins on vid 7 atm), and theres clearly a lot more to it than I understand. I get the feeling that it works dependent on the viewport you're using and then theres the falloff and shape controls.... The manual covers it in a *brief* manner. Does anyone have the patience to give me a bit of an explanation?

Thanks
