Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
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.

Choose Edit Polygons. There are a few tools you can use in here such as Poly Split, which lets you draw edges where ever you want. Subdivide basically creates more edges everywhere.

Good one Darkware!

Also there is of course other variations of that like the tools in the free A|W Games tools like DrawSplit etc.

Game on!

Hi all

Thanks for the replies, besides the split tool, going from one line to another and another...until you revolved and hit enter, is there another tool that i can click once and revolve once and split the face?

Wee!! Oh you're going to love this! Alias|Wavefront developed an awsome mel that allows you to split all the way around an object with just one click. Exactly what you're looking for! You can download the entire plug-in at their website, or if you just want the single facePathSplit mel, you can download it from this very post.

Ok well, it won't let me upload the mel to this post because I posted the exact same thing a few months ago and that post is still up. So, go here to get the mel:
