Hi Ross, the circular menus you mention at 1:05′38″ are called “pie menus” and the idea was first published in 1969. The foremost expert in this I know of is Don Hopkins, who worked to implement and popularize them for decades. He has a good overview here: “Pie Menus: A 30 Year Retrospective”. @UsefullPig writes above about the pie menus in The Sims: that was Don Hopkins. @NightNord and @chiefwhosm mention Maya in page 3 of this thread as another application that uses them, and Don has the following to say about that: That quote is from this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17103627 He wrote the whole story about pie menus and patents in “Pie Menu FUD and Misconceptions”. I’m very interested in this subject and I’ve enjoyed your video tremendously, thanks!
