Error: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details.
i click the script thingy and it says this :
arning: Nothing is selected. Select objects or components to delete. //
// Error: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): One or more edges is nonmanifold.
// Nonmanifold geometry cannot be converted to a subdivision surface.
// To clean up nonmanifold edges, use Polygons->Cleanup with the nonmanifold option. //
// Error: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details. //

soz to say this but wen this happens to me i generally delete the faces in that area and use say extrude edge tool and remake that area.

but make sure that all the verts in that area are fully merged first

mayb some1 else will mave a less drastic measure

ps. i havent done the full dog tut but u should clean up those 3sided into quads and this will also make the model better both in poly mode and sub divs - but if this is how the tuts saiys plz forgive me

Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

what is wrong?

Triangles are bad with subdivisions!

Look at the neck- see how nice it came out? That's because all you have are 4 sided polygons. Now look at the bad parts on the Subdivision mesh- those are the parts with 3 or with 5+ sided faces.

Hope that helps,

well in a ton of your cases, you can simply select a face and press the delete button (or go to edit poly->delete edge) and BAM- 2 tris becomes 1 quad (like magic :p)
