This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Duplicate Special messing up

Whenever I duplicate special in order to make the second half of my model the two models overlap in the middle and dont line up how do I fix this problem so the two halfs line up

Select the vertices in the middle and make sure they are snapped to the central axis. (x=0). You can hold x to snap to grid.

Guys the vertices still arnt lining with the X axis let me show you now mind you this happens to every model I ever try to make ever this is the point I hit and usually give up cause no one can ever fix it.

I will keep that in mind for future reference for now I moved each vertex individually lol but I wish I could have tried this to know if that worked lol
