In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

splitting an object
I am in the process of learning maya and have a question for a short animation that I am doing. I have created a complex object using mostly polygons and would like to slpit it open (like a book)and have the rest of my animation continued inside this object. The problem is that I don't know what's the best way to do this splitting and would like some advice on it.
Thank you in advance,
Maryam

I am not finished with the object yet, but it looks like an egg from the outside and has a complex inside (most of them are/will be made from simple polygons; I can also use all of it as polygons if it's difficult to slpit NURBS) I would just like to split it in half to be able to access the inside.
