Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Converting a polygonal object to subdiv...?

Hi, I'm new here, and also new to Maya! I look forward to talking to the experts on this forum, and hopefully I'll learn a few things.

I've just created a horse model using polygons and I wish to convert it into subdiv, but when I do so the subdiv takes the faces from the polygon and converts some of them into circles.

What should result in a smooth horse model, is now a horse model made up of circles and ovals, with lots of gaps in between. (see the screenshot)

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

try converting it back to polys then merge all the vertices around the strange faces together and then use the cleanup tool (polygons>cleanup) with nomanifold geometry checked.
If that doesn't work you can try selecting all the faces and reverse their normals(edit polygons>normals>reverse).

thanks, I got it sorted eventually. I had to merge verticies, normalise them, and then clean up.
