@yourworstfriend No just stick with quads they wont hurt :).

@aaronh678 Hey, do you think it's possible that engons are acceptable if they're only 2D?

[yourworstfriend]

@aaronh678 Very cool, thanks man.

@yourworstfriend Strangely enough I wanted to do an animation like south park :P, but unfortunately I have no experience with 2D animation in Maya (I wish I did, I would love to do my own animations), if I find a good tutorial on rigging 2D characters and animating them in Maya I'll send it to you.

@aaronh678 Ok, cool, that's a nice start. So, I was hoping to use Maya to do 2D animation, like South Park does, that's how I found this video tutorial. I don't really know the answers to your questions, that's why I'm looking up tutorials. If you had an effective method to rig up 2D characters for animation in maya, I'd watch it, and I'm sure others would too.

@yourworstfriend Well I would do everything different because it was all wrong why would you model a character using a plane? why leave it with ngons? why would you start off modeling using create polygon? You should search for your own tutorials I don't know what you want to model do I?

[yourworstfriend]

@aaronh678 How would you do it differently? If I should ignore this video I'd like to know what I should watch instead! Criticism usually works that way, btw. If you're going to diss it, you'd better suggest an alternative.

@TableSpoonTV This tutorial is bad, the whole thing is just 1 massive engon (a polygon with more then 4 sides) which is very bad, make sure you learn how to model before posting tutorials!!!
