Cuttin polygin faces - Simply Maya User Community

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Cuttin polygon faces

Hello, i think it is simple question.
I need to cut on object on place where it intersects with other.
I saw my friend doing that on lesson, but forgot how he did that.

Also, is it good way to do this ? To create car part like that ?

I think it will work well, just extruded edges that needs to be..

lauris:

You need to avoid that stretching going on (circled) thats where the problem lies really

Ive done a rough paint over - excuse its crudity, but I think you'll see what I mean

Looks fine but I'd still be concerned about the stretching on those large polys. just add another loop just to halve them, and try to keep the edge flow as tidy as possible, at the moment they are a little wonky
