Hi Everyone

Still nubin' around with maya, and trying out all the free tutorials and getting better and better.. I guess...

I'm doing the Cartoon Dog by Kurt Boulitier and I'm at the stage where every piece is converted into polygons etc, you know the drill.

I running maya 2008, which ofc isn't the version Kurt is using in that tutorial, so I'm having a hard time finding the various tools etc. When the dogs head and neck is to be merged Kurt uses the Boolean operation which I found in -> Polygons -> Mesh -> Boolean (think it's right?)

but...

When I use the Union tool both the head and the neck disappears. Pretty stuck at this point! Help me pls a high five to the one who can enlighten me

- mdl

I had the same problem… check out this thread:

Erm.. I must admit I'm really new at this.

How does cleanup work?

still not working.

Haha… you have to tinker around with the settings to get it right, and at a point where it doesn't screw up your geo. Check out the help files (F1).

hehe yeah seems to be working now.. funny with this maya thing.. I just had to move the pieces a bit then it worked! thanks !!

I was going mental

they probably weren't intersecting properly

btw, did you name youself after the file extension mdl in Source mods?
