Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Starwars Ship question

i'm not sure but from the pic it looks like you kept the original geometry, so in effect you have a low poly and a sub-d model on top of each other.
In the options box for the convert to sub-d uncheck "Keep original".

If this is not the problem maybe a larger pic would help to identify the problem.

Have you pressed the "3" key, to show maximum detail?

LoL z3ro, no problem pal.

Just that I saw the simple and correct answer kab after I posted mine, which was a bit away from that, so I deleted.

No worry, i'm not kinda histerical or susceptible at all :attn:
