Maya: Basic Polygon Editing Tools

[Whaffel]

Ahh.. Just the kind of informative video I like! Well done.. Lots of techniques I knew about, but wasn't sure how to perform. Thanks for taking the time :)

You didn't even explain how to add polygons without an underlying mesh. How do you basically build a mesh from nothing. Ahhhhh

I used 2 tools that U showed how to delete Face and how to filled again. I was thinking that I can delete a lot of Faces and when I fill that many faces will fill same with angle the way it was but it didn't. Looks like if I have to much Vertexes it will not fill round the way I had Object. I did Soft and still didn't do it. Why? I did delete Vertexes that I had so many. Is that my problem. Fill Face will go to another Verteches?

Is there a reason you set it to 23 divisions or was that just a subtle reference to the 23 enigma?

@RockingTheFro No, I just kinda slid the slider and it landed on 23.... go figure
