How do you clean up a split polygon in Maya?
So for that simply select the “Split Polygon Tool” and add a few cuts on some faces to make them n-gons (faces surrounded by more than 4 edges.) Now open the Cleanup window again, this time using Hotbox. Press and hold Shift+Right-click and select “Cleanup”.
Why does my model get strange black / grey polys?
As you rotate the model in the viewport you would see the default lighting in the viewport change the shading on the different faces. This would oly occur if there were strange smoothing groups I think. To better resolve the problem it would help to have the file to look at.
Is it possible to simplify polygons without holes?
The simplification then gives a topologically correct layer, without holes. Note : By setting the snap tolerance to higher values, it is even possible to alter the polygons so that very thin ones can be deleted if you want.
Why do I get different shading on my model?
From looking at the 1 screenshot, it looks like you might be seeing different shading on the different smoothing groups. As you rotate the model in the viewport you would see the default lighting in the viewport change the shading on the different faces. This would oly occur if there were strange smoothing groups I think.
Is there a way to get rid of bad geometry in Maya?
These errors can appear for any number of reasons and they’re not always easy to spot. In today’s tutorial, you’ll get a detailed overview of Maya’s Cleanup options and how they can be utilized to help get rid bad geometry that is sometimes hard to find and will cause issues when exporting meshes to real-time game engines.
Which is the best way to clean up bad geometry?
So applying cleanup will highlight that one extra face over the other one. And if auto cleanup is applied, it will directly delete this extra top face. Auto Cleanup works best for the Lamina faces issue. Now we’ll have a look at the last case of bad geometry which consists of 3 types of them.
Which is the best way to get rid of nonmanifold geometry?
An alternative and the best way to get rid of this kind of Nonmanifold geometry is to delete it directly, or simply separate that particular face. The second type of Nonmanifold Geometry is where two or more faces share the same vertex, yet they share no edge.
