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

Poly to Subdivision convert problem
[B]polyToSubdiv -ap 0 -ch 0 -aut off -maxPolyCount 1000 -maxEdgesPerVert 32 |polySurface8|polySurfaceShape11;
// 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. //
B]
someone knows what that should mean i already tired the clean up thing with the option: "Edges with zero lengh". I don't really know what's meand with "nonmanifold option" i come form austria and so my english isn't so good but I also didn't find a translation on the internet.
pls someone help me.

what i forget to ask is: in the video tut he cleaqns everything up with merge vertices but that doesn't do anything so i just did everthing with merge to center. where could the problem with the vertices tool be?

It sounds like you still have 2 seperate peices of geometry merged, so until that is a single bit of geometry it cant be converted to Sub-D. Undo the Merge to Center and then go ack and merge each vert individually and try again.

What you will probably find has happened, is you've got a hole in your mesh that you haven't noticed.
Go to>> Mesh>> Cleanup>> and in the options window make sure "Nonmanifold Geometry" is checked.
Hit apply, and it should highlight the vertices's in the problem area.
You will probably have to manually fix the problem, weather you merge the problem verts, or have to delete them, depends on the problem.
