Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

What have I done?

user added imageHi, I'm making my first attempt at modelling a human in Maya using box modelling.
But I must have done something wrong because my model's gone haywire. It started with triangle appearing where there had been quads, then portions of my topolgy began morphing as I extruded added loops etc, and now large holes have begun to appear. I used fill hole, but for every hole I fill two or three larger one appear somewhere else on the model.
What did I do wrong and will I have to start again?
I'd appreciate any advice.

Have you done any deleting of faces as its possible that you are selecting the one at the front but also selecting the one at the back...............dave

It appears you have just deleted some faces and edges by selecting through the model as per Dave's post. From what I see it would not be hard to just recreate the missing polygons (fill hole) and redraw the missing edges (split polygon).
