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.

and the problem is that even after I do a Cleanup it still wont convert and it gives me the same error// Error: line 2: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): One or more edges is nonmanifold.
// Nonmanifold geometry cannot be converted to a subdivision surface.
// To clean up nonmanifold edges, use Polygons->Cleanup with the nonmanifold option. //
// Error: line 2: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details. //
any suggestions?

thanks a lot, I'll try it now

EDIT: Just checked them..and they seem fine
I wonder what it can be... the reason I want to convert it to SubDs is because I can't think of any other way to outline the eye socket...

Its one of the most important rules to a nice clean Sub d mesh. Anyways... The best way to convert from Nurbs to Sub D's is to take your Nurbs Surface and rebuild the surface to a higher # when you are finnised modeling it. Lets say 20X20 (depends on your model) then convert using Controll Points. . Witch can be good because you can control how many polys alot quicker,but it really rounds everything out and you loose alot of detail. Look at the pic below, the first Shape is Nurbs.The second is the standard way of converting it to Polys, like you did with your fetus. the Third way is by controll points.The final way that I have posted is when you convert using control points. In my opinion that is probably the best way to do it. So.. I would Highly recomend trying one of the last two ways of converting from Nurbs to Polys, and it should work fine, plus you will have a much nicer looking Sub D mesh with out all of the Wrinkles (hopefully) Hope this helps, let me know...Brian
Hope this helps?

well the only reason I switched to Poly's from Nubs is because I needed a way to connect the head and the body so I cobined them and then I did stuff like Merge Vertecies and all that..
but I guess I"m back to sqare one and try it agiain
thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!
