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.

5 Sided Polygons - Maya

Hello there,

I was wondering whether somebody could help me with modelling. I have some 5 sided polygons in my model and I'm having truble getting rid of them. I'm new to modelling and can't seem to find a way around it.

I really appreciated the help!
